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!
Kofi: Would we trade our essential liberty for some temporary safety? CAN we?
Kofi: That's the 64,000-Moebit question, isn't it? And I don't mean just for we assembled here.
Kofi: How easily can our people generally be terrorized into surrendering to oppression?
Panel 2
Sheldon pontificates
Sheldon: To the extent we have nurtured a culture of resilience, we have a bit of breathing room.
Sheldon: But that can evaporate quickly if we are shown to be incapable of defending the city.
Sheldon: What's our defensive status now?
Panel 3
Include Achal, Dominic and Kang
Achal: Most of the new tracking stations are in place and operational.
Kang: Relógio Céu is recruiting and training additional service crews.
Kang: However the investigation into Alex Stern has stalled.
Panel 4
Focus on Dominic, looking smug again. Alyss in cameo.
Alyss (in cameo): Dominic, how about your clever new counter-measure?
Dominic: All set up and ready to fly.
Alyss: Has it been tested?
Dominic: Oh, you want it tested? You should've said something.
