Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2065
Panel 1Da Costa and Montoya in Da Costa's office. They are looking at a large viewscreen, which is at an oblique angle to us so we can't see what's on it yet.
Da Costa: These are all the corporations and cartels that are in a rivalrous position relative to local enterprises.
Montoya: That is quite a list.
Panel 2
Looking at Da Costa and Montoya from just to one side of the screen. Da Costa is doing some motions with his hands, directing the display system.
Da Costa: We can narrow the list quite a bit by eliminating the smaller operations.
Da Costa: Also those with significant investments in the city …
Montoya: Wait ...
Panel 3
Closer two-shot of Da Costa and Montoya
Montoya: Someone already invested here might still be willing to destroy even their own facilities, if their aim is to generate a chaotic situation.
Montoya: Certain parties may be poised to take advantage while we're off-foot.
Da Costa: But that still leaves us with more than 570 possible subjects to investigate!
Panel 4
Montoya smiles and claps Da Costa on the shoulder.
Montoya: If we are lucky, it could be more than one of them, maybe all of them together.
Montoya: In this way our chances of finding a good lead improve greatly.
Da Costa: You have a funny idea of 'lucky,' Albert.
Da Costa: My idea of 'lucky' is when the solution arrives on your doorstep on its own.
