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 1600

Panel 1
Every panel on this page is a wide-angle shot of BrrrptBrrrft, Eithne and Pbpbzzzftt. Eithne is confined to a chair, although we can't see much below her waist. In the first panel, BrrrptBrrrft is placing an electrode-crown on Eithne's head.
BB: Watch this: we'll get everything just from the electro-sponge and then that'll be it.
P: The sponge will extract the data we need, honey. Best not to resist it ...
Panel 2A
Camera trucked in slightly: Sparks fly out of Eithne's head. It looks really painful.
SFX: ZORCH!
BB: Ha! We might get some entertainment out of this after all.
P: Oh dear! Please just relax, sweetie.

Panel 2B
Camera trucked in slightly more: B removes the electro-crown, leaving Eithne's head smouldering. She looks bedraggled
BB: Nothing! Well, we have more interesting methods.
P: It's only going to get worse, honey!
Panel 3A
Similar shot, but now Eithne is tied spread-eagle on a large X-frame. We're zoomed in to just above her bustline, we only see her arms splayed out on either side of her.
BB: Ok, tell us how you contact your CUSH masters.
Eithne: I've told you, we've had no contact with the CUSH.
Panel 3B
Eithne grimmaces in sudden agony. The reader is left to imagine what they're doing to her.
Eithne: HNNNNNNGGGHHH
P: Please cooperate, honey! It's really for the best.
Panel 4A
The questioning continues.
BB: Alright, then tell us where your partners ran off to. Where is your base?
Eithne: I … honestly I don't know!
Panel 4B
More agony.
Eithne: AAAAAAAAAAA
P: I can't help you if you don't work with us, Enya.
Panel 5A
With Agent Ppppbbthshpt in the lead, the two muscle-men are dragging Eithne back down the corridor to her cell.
Caption: After another two hundred kiloseconds or so of data aquisition:
Panel 5B
The muscle-men toss Eithne like a rag doll, onto the bunk in her cell.
No dialog
Panel 6
Eithne is lying mostly prone on her bunk. Her face is close to us and we can see her eyes barely open. Behind her, the muscle-men are departing.
Eithne (thought): I seriously gotta get the flaming fuck out of here.
