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 209
Panel 1Inside the office of someone very powerful. Expensive yet tasteful décor, the owner's desk resides at the far end of the 20-meter-long room, in front of a large, sectioned, hemispherical window. We can barely make out the man seated at his desk. In the foreground left, a male secretary stands to address his boss.
Caption: In the city of Aldrinopolis, on Luna:
Secretary: Mr. Graves to see you, sir.
Man at desk: Send him in, then establish the null field.
Panel 2
View from behind the big chair behind the desk, looking across at Mr. Graves (still in Bushface), who addresses him respectfully.
Graves: It's been a while since you've called for me, Mr. Kolk.
Kolk: It's been a while since I've had need of your skills.
Panel 3
Medium shot/reveal of Mr. Kolk – a man apparently in his 40s, neatly groomed in his executive frock. He has narrow, piercing eyes set in a rectangular, Teutonic face, and sits with his fingertips pressed together.
Kolk: Or to be more accurate, since OmegaTek has had an opportunity as now presents itself.
Panel 4
View from a low angle beside/behind Graves, but we can still see Kolk's head over the desk ledge. A chair extrudes out of the floor positioned for him to sit in.
Kolk: Have a seat, Graves, while I brief you on the situation.
Graves: I can respect furniture that will rise to the occasion. Heh-heh.
