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
Dong and co. have exited the flyer, and Dong is introducing Diana to The Mechanic.
Dong: I am pleased to introduce my friend, Diana Martelli.
Mechanic: I gather you're here because you recently, ah, acquired this flyer and need it cleaned up.
Diana: We didn't steal it, it's a loaner. Or a gift. I'm not certain.
Panel 2
Dong, Mechanic, and Diana. In the background, we can see someone directing a scanning device in their direction.
Dong: I can personally vouch for Diana's integrity.
Dong: Our own scan revealed three trackers and four recording devices within the flyer.
Mechanic: I gather whoever loaned this to you wants to make sure he gets it back?
Panel 3
Dong, Mechanic and Diana, but now the person with the scanner is standing next to Mechanic. She glances over at him.
Dong: Perhaps. But we do not wish to be tracked, so we need everything but one tracker removed, and that one re-programmed so it reports to Diana and not the previous owner.
Mechanic: Excuse me a moment … what's that?
Panel 4
Suddenly, the Mechanic and her minions all have weapons pointed at our heroes.
Mechanic: Gyeon-Hoon, I know betrayal is frequent in this business but I never thought it of you.
Dong and Diana in unison: WHAT??
