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 1822
Panel 1They pause at the entrance to Diana's quarters.
Lorelei: If you like, I can have my personal neuro-tech take a look at you.
Diana: Uh, thanks but I'll just take this up with the tech who installed this one.
Caption: That was Monty, and I never trusted anyone else with my brain-meats.
Panel 2
Cut to futuristic bathroom. Diana is nude, walking through a large membrane – a Clean Screen.
Caption: Lorelei was also a fan of water-bathing, and I luxuriated in that while I stayed at her mansion.
Caption: But my new friends were waiting for me and walking through a Clean Screen was a much faster way of getting not just my hair-oil and ridiculous make-up off, but also the stink of sweating through that encounter with the legendary Sergio Cooper.
Panel 3
In her bedroom, Diana is standing in front of a full-length holo-mirror as she zips up her anysuit.
Caption: The Redes is full of jokes about Cooper's physical and mental prowess.
Caption: 'When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Sergio Cooper.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper once walked away from a fight with two broken ribs and a dislocated arm. He hasn't given them back yet.'
Panel 4
Same shot, only now the Anysuit is generating street clothing.
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper counted to infinity. Twice.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper can unscramble an egg.'
Caption: 'The only time Sergio Cooper was wrong was when he thought he'd made a mistake.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper can make you sweat inside a temperature-controlled Anysuit.'
Caption: That last one was mine. It's not a joke, it's a fact.
