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
Back to the conference room on the planet. Pfbbbtt-Pfft is displaying a map of her government's astrotory, holographically above the table.
Pfbbbtt-Pfft: Our United Confederacy spans nearly 20 percent of the galaxy's spiral arms.
PP: The seat of government rotates among eight different population centers, with an additional 42 regional offices dealing with local matters.
Panel 2
Medium c/u on Hugo, looking like he wants to burst but keeping still.
PP (OP): As you can see, the K'Tagon and Soraxian empires border us on the counter-spinward side, while the Brennir border us on the spinward side.
PP: While the extent of the CUSH dominion is unknown, they have been making increasing incursions in all our star systems closest to the galactic center.
PP: We are not certain whether the CUSH are coming from the center, or from beyond it in the unexplored arms.
Panel 3
PP, Murphy, Hugo, Eithne
PP: We are a peaceful people, but we must defend ourselves. Your advanced technologies will aid us considerably.
Hugo (thoughtsend): Murphy! Make some excuse and let's go!
Murphy (thoughtsend): Hugo, can't you see the opportunity for us here?
Hugo (thoughtsend): Sorry, the dire threat keeps obscuring my view.
