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. We Won.

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 1471

Panel 1
Eithne is lounging in her own quarters, sipping a drink and gazing at a holographic screen being projected on the wall next to her bed. In the center we see a blue-green-white, Terra-like world. Two small moons also in the frame. All are in quarter-phase.
Eithne (thought): Might as well spend the time looking around this star-system.
Eithne: Hmmm. That's the planet those transmissions are coming from.
Eithne: Looks a lot like Gabriola … or the way Terra used to.

Panel 2
Closer focus on the holoscreen, with Eithne visible in the lower left. The screen shows a diagram of the double-star system.
Eithne (thought): So, two class-G stars, orbiting not quite 300 gigameters apart.
Eithne: Two asteroid belts, one of them a 'figure-eight' like the Alpha Kentauri system's.
Eithne: One small, rocky world orbiting very close to the larger star ...

Panel 3
Medium shot of Eithne, looking bored already.
Eithne (thought): … Nine more planets orbiting both stars, from 720 gigs to 15.5 terameters out from the barycenter.
Eithne: The target planet is the innermost … the weather must be quite interesting.
Eithne: I wonder what that world's people call their home.
Eithne: Probably something like 'pbbt-pfft-plfft-ptdb.'
