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
CP, Hugo and the entourage proceed through another, smaller room full of bulky equipment.
CP: You are being too modest, Doctor Hugo.
Hugo: I am?
CP: Your own star-drive must be many times faster than ours.
Hugo: Er … why do you think so?
Panel 2
CP and Hugo, who is looking a bit discomfited.
CP: For one thing, you must have either come from the far side of our galaxy, which we have not yet explored ...
CP: … Or even from another galaxy. We could not make the shorter journey in less than 40 years, or the longer in less than 450.
Hugo: How would you know how long we've been traveling?
Panel 3
CP stops and takes a confrontational stance towards Hugo, who is looking cornered.
CP: We may be less advanced than you, but we are not primitives.
CP: We scanned your ship, your life-form, and you especially during trans-mat.
CP: Your living crew-member cannot be more than 25 years old, and you and your ship appear to have been manufactured much more recently.
