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 1894
Panel 1Wook, Diana and Otto are framed by the gateway as they exit the park.
Otto: So I can call you, yes?
Diana: Okay, but please remember that I'm really busy with work now so only call me if it's about something important.
Panel 2
They are standing aside Otto's flyer. A hatch is open and a short stair-step has descended for him. Diana is saying goodbye, while Wook vigilantly scans the area behind them.
Diana: Don't forget to deliver my message.
Otto: I won't. And the joke about the … uh … whisky and --?
Diana: I'll leave that up to your judgment.
Panel 3
Diana and Wook watch Otto's flyer lift off.
Diana: That went well, I think.
Wook: You established a low-profile connection to a powerful figure.
Voice (OP): In that regard I'd say it went very well, indeed.
Panel 4
Diana and Wook both turn in surprise to see Belbenoit standing behind them. (And behind Belbenoit is their own flyer.)
Belbenoit: I beg your pardon, mademoiselles. I do tend to move very quietly.
Belbenoit: I am Senior Field Agent René Belbenoit, Smith & Holder, and I am at your service.
