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 2116
Panel 1Montoya is creeping through a dark alley, himself barely visible underneath his holo-charm, which is doing a chameleon thing.
Montoya: (thought): No telling who or what I might run into back here.
Montoya: The holo-charm might make me nearly invisible but I still must tread carefully.
Panel 2
Montoya is only a few meters away when the back door opens and a large bundle is tossed out.
Montoya (thought): That must be the back door and … ah!
Montoya: I hope that isn't what I suspect it is.
Panel 3
Montoya cautiously approaches the bundle on the filthy pavement.
Montoya: (thought): Whatever it is, my tracer is not on it.
Montoya: Still, I need to know ...
Panel 4
Montoya lifts a flap to see the face of his stalker. Angle shot so we focus mainly on Montoya's dismayed reaction, but we can see enough of the stalker to know she was beaten horribly. But her hair color identifies her.
Montoya: Maldito seja!
Montoya: (thought): Did they do this to her just because I caught her? Did they detect the tracer?
