Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1518
Panel 1In the same room, a large panel on that broad wall moves down to reveal a wide window. Through it we see part of the planet and an expanse of stars.
Hugo: This is our observation deck, the only place we can directly view outside the ship.
Hugo: With your permission we will now demonstrate our hyperspace slipstream drive.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Murphy, Hugo and CP. Hugo is smiling wryly.
Hugo: I recommend you inform your crew that we will be taking a quick jaunt outside this star-system.
Hugo: After all, we would not want to alarm them by suddenly disappearing. We shall return within 1,000 seconds.
CP: Point taken.
Panel 3
CP turns away and touches the large badge on her chest, as Murphy and Hugo glance at one another. Murphy looks worried, while Hugo is all confidence.
CP: Pbbbbbbbt to Pbbttppbt-fff.
Badge: Yes, Captain?
CP: Our friends are going to demonstrate their star-drive for me. Just a brief jaunt, I'm told.
CP: Continue your duties in the meantime.
CP (sotto voce): And monitor our departure closely.
