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 1965
Panel 1Focus is medium shot of a weeping Diana cradling a dead Wook in her arms. Beyond them we can see large chunks of goon embedded into cracked walls and cabinets.
Caption: But killing Carmen and all the goons in Bubbleopolis wasn't going to bring back Wook.
Caption: I cried and shook until I came to the realization that there might be more goons coming.
Panel 2
Diana is now dragging Wook's body by the heels headed out the doorway. Past the remains of Carmen.
Caption: I tried calling for help but my signal was blocked. The place was obviously q-wave shielded, the perfect place to bag someone.
Caption: So I had to move us. Fortunately, ever since the time I fell out of that old Jaxx Forge factory I started carrying a mini-Bubb. In 3 mesecs it was able to carry Wook … barely.
Panel 3
In a dark corridor, Diana has stopped at a corridor intersection, trying to figure out her path.
Caption: I had run in there so fast I wasn't sure which path to take back out.
Caption: I tried to call for help again but my signal was still blocked.
Panel 4
Suddenly Pauline Kempadoo (remember her?) appears behind Diana and grabs her by the upper-arms, spreading them outward
Pauline: GOTCHA!
Diana: Yaagh!!
