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!
Strip 236
Panel 1
Diana is again walking away from the illuminated area.
Caption: I sat for a while but quickly got bored and decided to go exploring again.
Caption: Of course I kept transmitting calls for help, but there was no signal.
Panel 2
Diana is again walking through pitch blackness, shouting into the void.
Caption: I walked a bit more boldly this time, deciding that I was already in the trap.
Caption: I tried shouting, hoping to hear an echo. But the place was quiet as death.
Panel 3
Looking from behind Diana, we see another illuminated space in the distance, but this one has a figure standing at the far edge of it.
Caption: I quickly spotted another light and made for it.
Caption: But as I got near, I could see that this time there was someone waiting for me.
Panel 4
Diana stops at the near edge of the circle, facing Marlon Trudeau. Marlon is tall and trim, with Romanesque features and flowing black hair, but somehow still manages to look a bit like a fool.
Marlon: Good afternoon, Diana Martelli.
Marlon: My name is Marlon Trudeau, and I'll be your interrogator today.
