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 1870
Panel 1The super-flyer soars around a building that sports an open, terraced restaurant along an 'upper' section.
Caption: Jorge Wickberg was a game producer of some renown, although he's spent the last decade or so resting on his laurels. And money.
Caption: He liked to 'hold court,' so to speak, at El Restorán Descoberto, an open-air eatery in Roaz' sphere.
Panel 2
In the flyer cabin, Diana and Areum, looking out the side.
Diana: I think I see him.
Areum: If you want to just drop in on him, I can set the flyer to park on auto and we can use our emergency Bubbs to drop straight into the restaurant from here.
Diana: What?
Panel 3
Another angle Diana and Areum. Diana is getting snappy.
Diana: Ah, no thank you, Areum. We'll park and walk in like normal people.
Areum: As you prefer.
Diana: Besides, that terrace has a shield and we’d just look silly bouncing off it. Unless we get shot first.
Areum: Si, Senhora.
Panel 4
Diana and Areum are walking through the doorway from the parking garage. Diana looks a bit taken aback.
Areum: My apologies, I know you wish to be addressed by your given name.
Areum: But I always strive to be professional, and two centuries of habit is difficult to break.
Diana (thought): Two centuries! Then how can she be so clueless?
