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
Hugo walks over to another machine in his lab. Murphy follows.
Murphy: The Vibremonic Constant has changed? But how can that be, unless ...
Murphy: … We've slipped into another universe?
Hugo: That's one possibility.
Panel 2
Now Hugo is at another machine, both hands moving over a lower panel as he gazes at an eye-level screen. Murphy looks on.
Hugo: Another is that this is a localized phenomenon … perhaps encompassing this galaxy.
Hugo: Ordinarily, I'd say your theory is a good deal more likely.
Hugo: But ... come one, these aliens. Are you kidding?
Panel 3
Murphy looks thoughtful, as Hugo reaches for a small bit of gadgetry emerging in a dispensing tray.
Murphy: Yeah. Not what we should expect. All humanoid forms.
Hugo: The ruins of the extinct civilizations we've found elsewhere have suggested a wide range of forms had achieved techno-sapience. None resembled humans.
Murphy: Back home a lot of humans don't resemble humans.
