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
The Super-flyer is now in a different, darker sphere, approaching a medium-large structure showing signs of age but not dilapidated.
Caption: The Guimarães Sphere was once one of the brighter, wealthier spheres but that was more than a century ago.
Caption: Since then it has faded into a sort of genteel post-affluence.
Diana (from flyer): I guess this is the address.
Panel 2
Diana and Wook are in a corridor approaching a door labeled, Sociedade de Casa em Miniatura .
Wook: 'Society of Miniature Houses.'
Diana: Hmmm. 'Miniature' and not 'doll houses.'
Diana: I guess they're making a point that this isn't a childrens' toy-shop.
Panel 3
Diana and Wook are standing outside the door.
Wook: I suppose a house made for dolls could be any size. Even full-size.
Diana: Yeah, strictly speaking. I wonder if the door will be answered by Raggedy Ann.
Panel 4
The door opens to reveal, not Raggedy-Ann, but a stately, mocha-colored woman with long, black hair, clothed in a palazzo suit with a front slit revealing pleated dhoti pants underneath.
Wook: Apparently not.
Woman: May I help you?
Diana: Er … Love the ensemble, would you share the program for it?
