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
Diana and Monty are walking down a corridor, with Wook following.
Diana: All right, all kidding aside, what function might this hyper-whatsis serve?
Monty: It's not that difficult a word, Diana.
Monty: Hyper. Cube. (H)exa. Hedron.
Panel 2
Diana rolls her eyes.
Diana: Okay, okay. Hyper-cubexahedron. But what's it for?
Monty: I have no idea -- Remember that I said, 'sort of.'
Monty: In fact, a cubexahedron, hyper or not, can't exist in normal Euclidean space.
Panel 3
They're entering a different room, with other sorts of techy-equipment.
Diana: So, we're talking about extra dimensions?
Monty: Maybe three or four extras, I suppose.
Monty: But not the type of extra spatial dimensions that most physicists talk about.
Panel 4
Standing near a person-sized table in that room. Monty is looking a bit exasperated.
Diana: Why would Hayami want to build something that can only exist in theoretical extra dimensions?
Monty: I DON'T KNOW! It makes no sense!
Diana: That's why we need to figure out what this is for.
