Creepy moves in darkness dares discovery.
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 2005
Panel 1Miller is standing forward, we see Diana and Montoya in the background reacting. Zander is seated in a row behind her, and he is also surprised.
Miller: At this time I want to call forth Zander Metaxas, as a hostile witness.
Montoya: Objection! Senhor Metaxas has no involvement here other than being a friend of Senhora Martelli, and was not mentioned in the documentation.
Arb (OP): Overruled. Come forward, Senhor Metaxas.
Panel 2
Zander is standing before the Arbs, as Miller questions him.
Miller: During the time Smith & Holder was investigating Senhor Gómez' disappearance, their employee database was hacked and a great deal of personal information stolen.
Miller: Did you have anything to do with this? And if so, why?
Miller: Remember, the consequences of lying here are severe.
Panel 3
Tears stream down Zander's face as he confesses.
Zander: I … Diana was being hounded by those creeps! She was driven into hiding. They busted her arm!
Miller: Answer the questions.
Zander: I … yes, she asked me for help, wanted to know how many Smith & Holder agents were connected to RPLD.
Zander: And something like a third of them were.
Panel 4
Miller is angry but the arbiters are intrigued.
Arb Andrews: A whole third?
Miller: I didn't ask that question and that remark should be stricken from the record.
Arb Sandini: We just did ask, and know the answer.
Arb Feingold: Be careful what box you choose to open, Senhor Miller.
