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
Exterior view of the police cruiser, we can see Ralf tossing the Glutean out through the hatchway.
Eithne (from inside the craft, in K'Tagonese): Button up that hatch, Ralf! We launch in six seconds!
Panel 2
Exterior shot, the police cruiser rocketing away from the station on the airless planetoid.
Eithne (K'Tagonese): All systems looking good, thrusters steady at maximum.
Eithne: Ten seconds to warp.
Panel 3
Eithne, strapped into her pilot's chair, swivels a bit to face Ralf, strapped into the co-pilot's chair. Eithne is un-strapping herself.
Eithne: Aaand that's it. Steady as she goes at Warp Factor 8.
Eithne: I've activated the ship's stealth mode so they shouldn't be able to track us.
Panel 4
Ralf is un-strapping himself as Eithne looks on.
Ralf: You have some remarkable skills.
Ralf: You can defeat the collars, trigger false alarms …
Ralf: … unlock supposedly unbreakable high-security control systems ...
Panel 5
Ralf springs to his feet while grabbing Eithne by the front of her shirt.
Ralf: … And you speak K'Tagonese much better than you've let on.
Eithne: HEY!!
Panel 6
Ralf holds Eithne up so that they're nose to nose as he roars at her.
Ralf: WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR GAME?
