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 1929
Panel 1Diana is sitting on a sofa flanked by two hooligans. Areum is close-by, watching over.
Caption: The mercenaries stuck around for more than an hour, as Dong did his negotiating with each of them individually or in pairs.
Caption: I was left to socialize. Turns out thugs and hooligans are people, too. I heard some interesting stories.
Panel 2
Diana is at her desk in her bedroom, looking very tired as she peers into her compad's holoscreen.
Caption: Finally I was able to spend a bit of time doing some actual research in the Redes.
Caption: I found some media reports concerning Raynal and Bouissou. Nothing on that DeCosta character.
Panel 3
Diana sprawled prone on the bed. She's still wearing her anysuit, although it's not projecting anything.
Caption: I finally couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, and flopped into bed.
Caption: I didn't even bother taking off my anysuit.
Caption: I would regret that in the morning when I woke up itching all over.
Panel 4
Morning, at the breakfast table. Diana, Dong, Wook, and Areum having a quiet morning together, drinking coffee. No food is visible. Diana is scratching at a shoulder-blade.
Caption: 'Morning' is sort of arbitrary in this city but the habits of 3 billion years die hard.
Diana: Dong, next time you want to throw a party in this place please give me some advance warning.
Dong: I did not expect the guests to eat our entire food stores.
