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
As they stand underneath the starship, a column of light shines upon them from directly above.
Eithne: Entry by way of gravity-lift, of course.
Hugo: I do hope you will graciously share the access codes with myself and Murphy.
Eithne: Oh, sure. Check your inboxes.
Panel 2
Worms-eye view of the trio rising up into an open hatchway.
Hugo: I hope there is an alternative means of access.
Eithne: Naturally. Another gravity-lift, an extensible gangway, and two standard airlock-hatches for extra-vehicular transfers. Quadruple redundancy.
Panel 3
Aboard the vessel, the trio walks away from the deck hatchway which is irising closed behind them.
Murphy: Already I can see you've put a lot of thought into this design, Eithne.
Eithne: Well, I read a lot of your logs. Saw some of the problems you've had.
Murphy: Uh … which of our logs?
Eithne: Don't worry, I skimmed over the sexy stuff. Mostly.
