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 1543
Panel 1Back to the workshop in Causa Sui. Present-Hugo leads off the narration in a caption box. In the scene, Murphy appears in the doorway behind where story-Hugo is working.
Caption (Hugo): 'Within 50 kilo-seconds Murphy was up and about.'
Murphy: What are you doing? We have to go back for Eithne!
Panel 2
Hugo holds up a module he's working on, examining it with an extended eye. Murphy looks on.
Hugo: Unquestionably. But we must be prepared before we deal with these … gluteans.
Hugo: We must match their ability to scan great distances super-luminally.
Hugo: And also to shield ourselves from their scanners.
Panel 3
Hugo, now holding a small bundle of modules in each arm, strides purposefully into the corridor, with Murphy following close behind.
Murphy: Do you think you can do all that?
Hugo: Hard to say.
Hugo: Some of this tech shouldn't work, but it seems to. That makes engineering way more interesting.
