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!
Panel 1
Alyss pops into the Central Intelligence's encounter room. We see the Master Processor on a monitor screen.
Master Processor: WHAT!! Identify yourself!
Alyss: My name is Alyss Roaz and I have come alone and unarmed as a show of good faith.
Panel 2
The Master Processor looks Alyss over as she stands before him.
MP: We recognize you, Alyss Roaz.
MP: You are an invader and you have caused us great harm.
Alyss: I have now come to parley. I can help you.
Panel 3
Looking from the MP's POV at Alyss.
MP: Help us? How?
Alyss: With each generation, a certain small percentage of your people are … problematic for you. Willful and disruptive.
Alyss: You must expend precious resources dealing with them.
Panel 4
The MP sneers at Alyss.
MP: We have managed to deal with them well enough. The cost is manageable.
Alyss: Ah, but it would be more efficient if we could simply arrange to transport them off-world, would it not?
Alyss: I can remove them to another world more amenable to their troublesome temperaments.
Panel 5
Medium shot on Alyss. We see a shadow on the wall behind her.
MP (OP): As you have no doubt noted, our population has been declining. You propose to accelerate that decline? This is NOT helpful!
Alyss: Ah, well, you know, I can't solve every problem. But perhaps with resources freed up you can find a solution?
Panel 6
Hiyami has sneaked up behind Alyss and grabs her by her upper arms.
MP: We think we have a better solution.
Alyss: HEY!!
