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 is still on the bench but now has her feet up on it with her back propped against the side-wall. Over in the doorway we see Agent Ppppbbthshpt, tablet in hand, with a big security guard standing behind him.
AP: Subject Enya Lawndragon, you are to come with me.
Eithne: Oh hello, pencil-beak. Broken any hearts lately?
Panel 2
Eithne is on her feet, walking towards her jailer.
AP: You should know that I have a translator and understand your insults.
AP: They will not help you here.
Eithne: Don't take it personally, fart-face. I'm just bein' me.
Panel 3
Eithne pauses before entering the doorway, looking worriedly at the lights in the jamb. AP indicates the tablet she's holding.
Eithne: Uhh ...
AP: Your security collar has been re-oriented towards me.
AP: Until we reach our destination, it will activate only if you move more than four mezzes from me.
Panel 4
AP leads Eithne up the corridor, with the big security guard following. AP is looking at the tablet.
Eithne: How far is four mezzes?
AP: Far enough. Just stay with me as we go through.
Eithne: Where are we going, anyway?
Panel 5
Moving quickly, Eithne snatches the tablet out of AP's hands.
AP: To your ...
Eithne: Ooooh, pretty!
Eithne: Lemme see! I love gadgets!
Panel 6
The guard punches the side of Eithne's head, knocking her off balance, and she drops the tablet.
SFX: CHUDD!!
AP: You are not authorized to handle correctional equipment!
