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 1838
Panel 1Diana, Dong, Wook and Areum are in the 'car park' walking along a taxi-path.
Dong: I think it likely that there is a tracking device in the flyer Senhora deClayre gave you, and possibly a cabin recorder, yes?
Diana: I hate to think that of Lorelei, but yeah, it's very possible.
Panel 2
They are standing next to the super-flyer. The satchel is open on the ground, and Dong is assembling a meter-tall device as the others look on.
Diana: Come to think of it, there's nothing sinister about a tracking device for your own mobile property. I have one for my own flyer.
Dong: As well as a cabin recorder?
Diana: Er, no. But I do have a remote disabler.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Dong and Diana, with the device which appears to be functioning now.
Dong: A tracker and a recorder are not sinister in themselves. But having such in another's control is a security problem.
Diana: Yeah. The thing is, I'm still not sure whether this is a gift or a loaner. Would I be violating her property right if we disabled them?
Panel 4
Pull back to include part of the super-flyer. Dong is looking at a holoscreen generated above the device. Diana is looking surprised.
Dong: Well, maybe she won't mind if we only disable two of the three trackers and three of the four recording devices.
Dong: The remote disabler is already disabled, however. Most curious.
