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. We Won.

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 158

Panel 1
Exterior of shuttle, rocketing towards Venus.
Nicole (from inside shuttle): Seamus, what happened?
Seamus (from inside shuttle): When their ship intersected the EM-shield, it effectively sent an electro-magnetic pulse through the ship.
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, Nicole, Seamus and the Pilot. Nicole is still holding the Watson screen but the holo-display is deactivated. She is looking a bit shaken. Seamus is looking quite self-satisfied.
Seamus: As I expected, the pulse was enough to fry their circuitry.
Nicole: Geez.
Seamus: They're no threat to us now.

Panel 3
Close-up on pilot.
Pilot: However, a 250-tonne ship moving at 15 kps is a menace to local navigation.
Pilot: I'm plotting their course so we can avoid smacking into them again after turnaround.

Panel 4
Pilot, Nicole and Seamus, who is now looking a bit sheepish. Nicole is collapsing Watson back to smart-phone size and looking at Seamus accusingly.
Pilot: They will clear Ishtar Station by 119 kilometers, pass within 500 kilometers of Venus and then head out of the plane of the ecliptic, in the direction of Antares.
Nicole: Seamus, everyone aboard is going to die!
