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
Another external view of the ship and the rock, coasting and tumbling along.
Caption: Four thousand seconds later:
Murphy: All right, Hugo, we've scanned that thing inside and out ...
Panel 2
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo stand at their stations.
Murphy: … and I think we should let it go now.
Murphy: That trip through the Snake-Eyes system has made it intensely radioactive and magnetically polarized.
Hugo: Causa Sui's shielding is protecting us for now.
Panel 3
External view, great columnated tentacles of energy emerge from Causa Sui to arrest the rock's tumbling.
Hugo (from ship): I really need a core sample.
Murphy (from ship): There's no way I'm letting you go down there!
Panel 4
Causa Sui fires a narrow-focus laser at the rock, cutting into it
Hugo: Well that's good because I don't intend to.
Hugo: Not when I have Causa Sui's 500 Terrawatt laser.
