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 1747
Panel 1Juan and Ingvar at the diner.
Juan: So, how am I getting this? Q-mail packet?
Ingvar. Oh hell no. Give me one of your scones.
Panel 2
Ingvar bites into one of Juan's scones.
Juan: You know, I can order another one for you if ...
Ingvar: Nnf.
Panel 3
Extreme close-up of Ingvar's mouth and the scone. With his tongue he is deftly pushing a memchip much like the one Alyss gave Diana, into the scone.
Caption: This was a pretty neat trick of Ingvar's, inserting a chip into a scone like that without an observer being able to see it.
Caption: I've tried this a few times but can't quite pull it off. I guess I should forget about ever working as a doxy.
Panel 4
The remaining scone is sitting on the plate in front of Juan, who looks at it uneasily.
Ingvar: Take that scone with you.
Juan: That's really not sanitary.
Ingvar: You wanted the un-sanitized version of the story, yes?
