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 1978
Panel 1Dominic, Guido, and a third sibling, Kennerly, hard at work in a lab.
Caption: Dominic and Guido had already been hard at work at their multi-dimensional fuckery detector, but Alyss brought in a third sibling, Kennerly to assist.
Caption: That might have made the difference ...
Panel 2
The siblings presenting their Pan-Dimensional Breach Detector, against a spangled background. The PDBD looks something like a large Klieg light sporting various levers and on a heavy tripod mount, with a ribbon-cable connected to a black box. A thick cord then runs back from the black box to a squeeze-bulb which is hooked to the main body.
Caption: … because within hours they came up with a device they called the 'Pan-Dimensional Breach Detector.'
Caption: The main drawback was its effective range was limited to about three kilometers.
Panel 3
In Lorelei's super-flyer, Lorelei is at the controls while the Siblings operate the PDBD which has been mounted on the flyer's dome.
Caption: So the siblings had to fly the thing around all the spheres in Bubbleopolis, searching for a … blip or whatever it was they thought would locate the Château Périlleux.
Panel 4
Medium c/u on the Siblings at the PDBD. Kennerly is squeezing a bulb attached to the device.
Caption: As they were searching the 73rd sphere:
Dominic: Hey look, there's a deviance at 241-mark-87.
Guido: Who's a deviant? Why-a you talk about such things NOW?
SFX (Kennerly): Honk!
