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 2101
Panel 1In one of Causa Sui's labs, a large chunk or iron is suspended in an energy field and Hugo is studying a 3D monitor as Murphy looks on

Murphy: So is there a payoff here or is metallurgy your new hobby?
Hugo: Large iron asteroids this pure are fairly rare.
Panel 2
Murphy and Hugo

Panel 3
Hugo stands and begins walking away from his monitor.
Murphy: Which means, you can trace this rock back to its system of origin?

Murphy: Zero-zero-one … the one we used to call Andromeda?
Panel 4
Hugo and Murphy striding briskly through a corridor.
Hugo: The same. And you know what that means.
