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
Eithne slows down as she approaches a wall full of windows, looking outside. We can see that we are several stories up.
Eithne (thought): Shit! I'm like 50 meters up!
Eithne: Where's the exit from this place?
Panel 2
She approaches a wall upon which is a plaque that has alien script on it but is clearly an 'emergency exit' directional sign, showing a layout of the floor and the exits. There are elevators and stairwells indicated.
Eithne: Well, that's helpful.
Panel 3
Eithne is bounding 4 steps at a time down a stairwell.
Eithne (thought): I hope I don't overshoot the ground level.
Eithne (thought): I'm not certain how many stories up I was.
Panel 4
On the ground floor, she zooms past a quartet of security guards waiting for an elevator.
Eithne: Fancy meeting you guys!
Eithne (thought): I suppose there's a lesson here but I don't have time to discuss it.
Panel 5
Eithne zooms towards a main entryway, but the exit is blocked by a pair of guards, who see her coming.
Eithne (thought): Just my luck!
Eithne (thought): Maybe if I put on the speed I can boom right through them?
Panel 6
Eithne's feet go up in the air as the guards have grabbed her upper arms and hold her fast.
Eithne (thought): Well, that's a big, steaming pile of 'nope.'
