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 2068
Panel 1Stern, alone in the room, broods.
Stern (thought bubbles throughout): I mean, it couldn't have been Zondra, could it?
Stern: She's just a bimbo. A cute but kind of weird and pudding-brained play-toy.
Stern: A play-toy who … was pudding-brained enough to record our … sessions.
Stern: And then black-mail me.
Panel 2
Stern, pondering
Stern: How would I help them find her, anyway?
Stern: All I have is the number of a bank account I'm supposed to transmit my payments to.
Stern: I could find out where that is, but if it's chartered in the City, then would secrecy laws shield the account owner?
Panel 3
Stern, looking despondent.
Stern: If I tell the Coronel about the black-mail, my name will become synonymous with ‶sexual deviant idiot.″
Stern: My friends will just laugh at me, and my family might disown me anyway.
Stern: And to think I joined Relógio Céu so that my family and friends would be proud of me.
Panel 4
Stern looking even more despondent.
Stern: But what if … I talk in my sleep, or something?
Stern: Or she might have stolen the codes from me, somehow?
Stern: Then, I'm partly to blame for all those deaths, because I failed in my job.
Stern: I might as well be a traitor.
