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
Medium close-up of Murphy lying on a table, her eyes have just popped open.
Murphy: Oh, no!
Panel 2
Murphy is sitting up on the table. This is the same scene we saw at the opening of Assumulation but Hugo is still lying supine on his table, unmoving.
Murphy: We've died ...
Murphy: HUGO?
Panel 3
Murphy turns to see Barbara (Eithne's mom) standing in the doorway. Barbara appears as a 40-ish woman, not a MILF but not unattractive either.
Murphy: Barbara? What's going on?
Barbara: We only got the 'death' signal from your entangled boson.
Barbara: Far as we know Hugo is still 'alive.' But he's not answering calls.
Panel 4
Murphy looks worriedly at the currently inert 'next' body for Hugo, lying there.
Murphy: The protocol in such a case is to animate the replacemen t body and then go find the previous instance.
Barbara: Yes, but after what he told me about his last encounter with a previous instance, things got really hairy. Thought I should ask you first.
Murphy: Things will get hairier if we don't find him.
