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!

Caption: We were both at a loss for words, for a moment.

Caption: I began accessing the Redes via my implant to grab some basic info about that case.
Panel 2
Diana is first to speak.
Diana: That … that murder happened very close to a year ago.
Diana: Smith & Holder's best investigators worked on that case for nine cycles, and found no good leads.
Diana: It's a cold case, probably un-solvable. Why are you looking to us now?
Panel 3
Medium shot of Alyss. She has pulled out a small Screen and is tapping something into it.
Alyss: Because, Diana Martelli, I believe you and Juan might find something the first-string guys overlooked.
Alyss: In many ways being from outside the City gives you a fresher eye.
Alyss: And honestly, you're a long-shot but you're the only shot I can see that might win the game.
Panel 4
Alyss is showing the Screen's face to Juan and Diana. Their eyes are very wide.
Alyss: This is what I can offer you now. Twice this when you successfully solve the case.
Juan: Twuh … twuh …
