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
As Diana and co emerge from the hearing room, Bok slides up to question them.
Bok: Senhora Roaz, do you feel the 25,000 Moebit judgment against you was fair?
Alyss: I … well, I think it was a bit excessive but the Arbiters did make a good point about the preferability of peaceful resolutions.
Diana: I will be paying Alyss' debt, out of my award money.
Panel 2
Everyone looks at Diana in shock
Alyss: What? No! That award could set you up for centuries!
Diana: It's only fair, Alyss. I fell into that trap through my own stupidity, and I'm beyond grateful that you came to my rescue the way you did.
Panel 3
Now Bok approaches de Castries and co as they exit the room.
Bok: Senhor de Castries, do you feel the Arbiters' judgments were fair? Will you respond to the allegation you were planning to aid an armed invasion?
De Castries: Fuck off, guttersnipe!
Panel 4
Back to Bok full-panel, in his studio as before.
Bok: Four days after that verdict, de Castries and many of the principals in that contest left the city for parts unknown.
Bok: The venerable Smith & Holder Assurance Agency was dissolved, but some of the staff joined with Sergio Cooper to form a new agency, Caçador & Cooper Assurance.
Bok: Thanks for watching, and for a much more in-depth look at this story, don't forget to view the up-coming docu, 'Le Château Périllieu Mystery,' which you can pre-purchase at this link.
