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 1928
Panel 1The thugs and hooligans, plus Dong and his nieces, are gathered around Diana in the living room as she addresses them.
Caption: So a few minutes later, as I promised Dong:
Diana: As Senhor Gyeon-Hoon explained, my investigations have, well, annoyed certain powerful interests.
Panel 2
Diana continues:
Diana: I am hoping that I can avoid any difficulties more severe than I've dealt with so far.
Diana: However, if things go badly I may have need of more protection than a pair of skilled body-guards can offer.
Diana: And if that happens I would want to call on you for assistance.
Panel 3
One of the thugs has a question.
Thug: And what are you offering to pay us? Can you pay us?
Diana: I … my research project has a sponsor who will cover my reasonable expenses.
Diana: As to how much, well …
Panel 4
Diana smiles, turns to gesture towards Dong, who gives her a rueful look.
Diana: I will leave it to Senhor Gyeon-Hoon to negotiate rates with you.
Diana: I have full confidence in his knowledge and ability to arrange a fair deal.
Caption: Well, tossing the potato to Dong was only fair, inasmuch has he'd pretty well ambushed me.
