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. We Won.

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 1871

Panel 1
Diana and Areum are standing at the restaurant entrance. They're dealing with a maitre d'.
Caption: Despite being 'open air' this restaurant is a fairly exclusive membership club.
Caption: Fortunately Alyss gave me a pass-key as a 'honored guest.'
Caption: Meaning, Alyss was guaranteeing my good behavior.
Panel 2
Establishing shot of Jorge Wickberg 'holding court.' Appearing as a portly, middle-aged man with a half-beard, he's sitting in an overstuffed chair flanked by four attractive women, one of whom is hand-feeding him grapes. He has a goblet in one hand and a cigar in the other. A gaggle of plebians is gathered around him and his girls.
Caption: Wickberg as not difficult to locate.
Caption: I would not be surprised to see someone like him being carried around on a palanquin.
Caption: Such an ostentatious display must be expensive, even here.
Panel 3
Diana, with Areum close behind, attempts to push through the throng surrounding Wickberg. One of the plebians objects, and puts a palm against her shoulder to restrain her.
Caption: But I didn't have all day to talk, so:
Diana: Excuse me, I need to ask ...
Plebian: Hey, no pushing! Wait your turn like the rest of us!
Panel 4
Areum has quickly moved in and caught the objecting plebian in a painful wrist-lock. The others stand back as Diana moves forward.
Plebian: Awk!
Diana: Sorry, friend. I only have a few questions for Sr. Wickberg.
Diana: I'm sure you'll get your chance to tell him all about your cool game idea soon.
