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!
Panel 1
In a broad, curved corridor, the outer wall/window explodes inward.
Caption: Claude had his own Oresme shield, at a tight radius around the building, so Alyss couldn't 'displace' commandos into the building.
Panel 2
Commandos in full kit are jumping in through the breach, running with weapons ready.
Caption: The parking bays would be heavily covered, so Alyss didn't use them.
Caption: Guido could pin-point the dimensional 'deviance' inside the building so Alyss made her own entry-way, closer to the goal.
Caption: She also had her armada strike at other points in the building, to sow confusion and disperse defenders.
Panel 3
In a large room, a flash-bang grenade is going off, stunning the half-dozen people in the room.
Caption: Otto called Alyss a 'warlord' but she used tactics aimed at minimizing blood-shed.
Caption: Flash-bang grenades have been around for centuries but they are still effective as an assault begins.
Panel 4
Pitched battle of armored fighters blasting each other with zinger-pistols.
Caption: Zingers can incapacitate without killing, although I can tell you it really fucking hurts.
Caption: Of course, with personal shielding sometimes you need to have a bigger zinger.
