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 1956
Panel 1Still browsing in the shop. Wook is watching them like a hawk.
Diana: So, you were saying --?
Carmen: Well, Hayami did report directly to DeCosta on two occasions, but it was just to receive some instructions about the clients she would be serving.
Diana: That doesn't sound so galaxy-shattering.
Panel 2
Carmen and Diana.
Carmen: That's not what got me so excited.
Carmen: Both Gianturco and Smith & Holder have had some massive resignations up and down the line.
Carmen: This has all the hallmarks of a purge.
Diana: Of what by whom?
Panel 3
Carmen and Diana
Carmen: 'Of what,' I'm not quite clear on. It's all being kept fairly quiet.
Carmen: 'By whom' is quite clearly members present and past of RPLD.
Diana: But to what end?
Panel 4
Carmen and Diana:
Carmen: Well, I have no 'smoking gun' but given what RPLD is all about, my guess is they want to establish a democratic republic here.
Carmen: Something the two largest security companies in Bubbleopolis just might be able to accomplish.
Diana: Well, everyone needs a hobby, but that's just downright rude.
