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!
Panel 1
External view, Causa Sui coasts alongside the second 'space turd.' The rock is canted at an odd angle.
Caption: 123,124 seconds later:
Murphy (from ship): And here we are, as I forecast.
Panel 2
Looking past Murphy and Hugo at the viewscreen in their control room. It is displaying the rock, with tactical lines and numeric readings.
Hugo: Unfortunately it's acquired a pronounced two-axial spin.
Murphy: I suppose we should be glad the drive system on it has gone inert.
Panel 3
Murphy and Hugo.
Hugo: Indeed. It's also good there's no guidance system on it smart enough to deal with getting Displaced to another system.
Murphy: We can use electro-grav beams to stabilize it.
Hugo: Perhaps, but first we need to make extensive scan-recordings of it, untouched.
Panel 4
Another external view of the ship and the rock, coasting and tumbling along.
Murphy: For clues as to its origin, I get that.
Murphy: But it has been 'touched' quite a lot by the radiation and gravity waves of Snake-Eyes back there.
Hugo: One problem at a time, Murphy.
