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 1604
Panel 1Elevated view of Eithne and Ralf seated at a dining table, Eithne has a tray of food before her.
From a cameo inset, Murphy narrates.
Murphy: The rest of that day passed quietly, Eithne still played at 'learning' K'Tagonese.
Murphy: The time for action would come after the prisoners had been herded back to their cells.
Panel 2
Eithne is seated cross-legged on her bunk in her cell, 'meditating.'
Eithne: Okay, it's time. The senior IT geeks will be in their sleep mode.
Eithne: I have everything prepared that can be.
Eithne: Unless I've overlooked something that will bring things to a screeching halt.
Eithne: I only get one shot at this.
Panel 3
Looking from past Ralf in his cell, he's reclined but raised up on one elbow and looking over at Eithne standing just inside her doorway, waving frantically to get his attention.
Eithne: I just hope Ralf will trust me enough to follow.
Eithne: He's both my greatest asset and my greatest danger.
