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 2092
Panel 1More chatter:
Jerome: To summarize:
Jerome: Anxiety levels are still higher than normal, but the success of Deslocação Dinámico in diverting the second missile has had a calming effect.
Jerome: So far there is little to no sentiment for changing the established order here, beyond the usual outliers.
Panel 2
Focus on the image of Jean-Luc on the flip-phone.
Jean-Luc: This was not unexpected. We will need to step up our game.
Jean-Luc: Based on your interviews, what would you recommend?
Jerome: Clearly assaults from outside are not very productive.
Panel 3
Focus on Jerome
Jerome: The city is well-hardened against external attacks, and they can adapt quickly, as we have seen.
Jerome: Not to mention, inasmuch as our sponsors also have valuable physical assets here, chewing up great chunks of the city is likely more costly than necessary.
Panel 4
A silhouetted figure is looking at a pair of monitors containing the images of both Jerome and Jean-Luc.
Jean-Luc: Agreed. So what then?
Jerome: The next attack needs to come from the inside.
Jerome: The city is more vulnerable internally, and a well-planned strike could divide the populace.
