Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1312
Panel 1Bok, Zander, Alyss, Elric, Sargon and Lupin are standing against a railing looking out into the open city. Looming very large in front of them is the new cruiser Alyss has designed for their mission.
Caption: Three hours later:
Bok: It's ... gi-normous!
Zander: 'She.' She's gorgeous.
Sargon: Indeed she is.
Panel 2
Reverse angle to show the gang looking up at the cruiser.
Lupin: Have you named her?
Alyss: I'm going to name her 'Eva Jeanne.'
Zander: I have no idea who this person was, but I like the sound of her name.
Panel 3
Reverse angle again, close in on Bok, Zander, Alyss, and Elric. We can see some of Eva Jeanne in the background.
Bok: So, how do we board her? Through the hopper?
Alyss: Not this time. You all have those bracelets I gave you?
Elric: Yes. Do they let us fly or something?
Panel 4
In a flash, the gang are suddenly standing on the bridge of the Eva Jeanne. All except Alyss are astonished.
Bok: Ho-shit!
Alyss: Instant short-range displacement, the latest in Murphy-Drive technology.
Sargon: Can we go back and get my stomach?
Panel 5
All gather around Alyss:
Alyss: All right, you all know the plan, and what's at stake.
Alyss: Anyone who wants to back out, now's your chance.
Elric: Er, what about Diana?
Bok: She still says she's busy.
Panel 6
Group shot, the gang are all assembled around behind Alyss, who has her battle-face on.
Bok: But we're all in.
Zander: Yes
Elric: You bet
Sargon: Absolutely
Lupin: All the way
Alyss: Then, let's go.
