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!
Panel 1
Rear view of the Flyer gliding into a deep array of floating buildings, along with other flying traffic. Ambient lighting level is dimmer than before, but not completely gloomy.
Areum (from flyer): Why was he taken to Boyce-McCoy Médico? This is ten spheres away from where he lives.
Diana (from flyer): He was found bundled up behind a portico of a commercial building here.
Diana: This was the closest hospital.
Panel 2
The RetroFlyer glides in for a landing on one of several pads near a hangar entrance at the base of the Boyce-McCoy Médico building.
Diana: It also has a close business relationship with Smith & Holder.
Areum: So are we walking into a den of lions?
Diana: Or a pit of vipers. Or maybe a house of monkeys.
Panel 3
The trio are entering the hospital lobby. Diana is flanked by Wook and Areum.
Wook: So far no lions, vipers or monkeys.
Diana: That doesn't mean they aren't around.
Areum: Or that they are. We don't need to go borrowing trouble.
Panel 4
The trio are standing at an Information booth. Diana is dealing with the arti-person at the booth, the nieces are behind and to either side of her.
Caption: After wandering around a bit we found an information booth.
Diana: Excuse me, but do you know where Juan Gómez is being treated here? Can I see him?
Booth bot: Yes. And, no.
Areum (sotto voce): Monkey identified.
