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 1679

Panel 1
Hugo and Murphy are relaxing in post-coitus on their bed.
Hugo: So. Theo's quite mad, unfortunately.
Murphy: Agreed. Which is why we need to fire up the Displacement Drive and get out of here.
Hugo: Not yet.
Panel 2
Murphy shifts to her side to face Hugo.
Murphy: Not yet?
Hugo: The Cush are our best means of finding Eithne.
Hugo: Otherwise we're looking for a needle in a truly gargantuan haystack.
Panel 3
Murphy and Hugo
Murphy: What do you propose?
Hugo: We're still well within Community space.
Hugo: We can tell Theo we want to work with him, and take this Icosaship on a course where we'll likely intercept Community ships and stations.
Panel 4
Murphy sits up in the bed, not exactly happy to be hearing this.
Murphy: You want us to help assimilate Gluteans?
Hugo: Only such few as are absolutely necessary.
Hugo: Unless you think they'll tell us where Eithne is being held if we just ask them nicely.
Panel 5
Murphy has stood up, and is re-projecting her holographic clothing. Hugo is sitting up in the bed.
Murphy: I … I'm not sure how this squares with our ethics, Hugo.
Murphy: Granted, the Community is predatory, but is every individual member at fault?
Hugo: I don't think that's a real concern here.
Panel 6
Murphy turns to face Hugo, who is now standing and projecting holo-clothing.
Murphy: What? How can you mean that?
Hugo: Because I have pierced the veil, revealing 'the man behind the curtain.'
Murphy: Veil? Curtain? What man?
Hugo: Let me explain …
