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
In the control room, Hugo fairly barks at Murphy.
Hugo: Enough of this! We're going after my remains, now.
Hugo: They might still have awareness, and it's cruel to delay longer.
Panel 2
Murphy and Hugo bicker a bit.
Murphy: Now just a minute, buster. I built this ship and I'm commanding.
Hugo: If you'll recall we agreed ages ago to take turns on these jaunts, and it's my turn.
Murphy: Like hell it is.
Panel 3
Murphy backs down, suddenly realizing he's right. Hugo stands up straight, taking charge.
Hugo: Yes, I captained last time but you took two turns previously, remember?
Murphy: Er … you're right, it is your turn.
Hugo: Next stop, the iron rubble pile in Andromeda where we ...
Panel 4
Exterior of Polyphemus popping into the new scene, a familiar starscape. But instead of the rubble pile they find the ringed star where it resided, but more from a distance.
Murphy: That's the right star system but we're more than 75 gigameters away from where we should be.
Hugo: Someone put up an Oresme Shield around the system.
Hugo: And whoever did that will know we're here quite soon.
