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 1772
Panel 1Diana in her flyer, heading past some other floating structures towards a Junction Matrix in the distance.
Caption: I came away from my first visit with DeClayre full of mango-citrus sparkler – which was as delicious as advertised – but without any greater understanding of Hayami or her motivations.
Panel 2
Diana in her flyer, emerging from a Junction Matrix into a gloomier sphere.
Caption: However I did get the name of her supervisor at Gianturco Garantia.
Caption: Gianturco had not been very forthcoming when Smith & Holder was investigating.
Panel 3
Medium c/u of Diana in her flyer, looking focused.
Caption: They claimed that Hayami's supervisor had left the company, and 'privacy rules' prevented them from giving up even so much as his name, let alone contact information.
Caption: Once I had his name – Sergio Fritch – I was able to track down his contact info. His call number, his street address, his credit account numbers, even the names of his ex-wives.
Panel 4
Diana's flyer glides into a cluster of buildings and traffic.
Caption: If most people here knew just how easy it is to get sensitive information about them, there'd be rioting in the streets. If this place had streets.
