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
Polyphemus pops into a new location.
Caption: 4,998 seconds later:
Murphy (cameo): We are now just a bit more than two klicks from the target, approaching at 12.5 meters per second.
Hugo (cameo): Perfect. Now scan out to 5 megameters in all directions.
Panel 2
In the control room, looking from behind Hugo and Murphy at the main monitor displaying the position of their target.
Hugo: Got it! It's … ah … not very large.
Murphy: Length 1.17 meters, mass 2.87 kilograms.
Murphy: At least we know what part of you this isn't.
Panel 3
Polyphemus pops into position near Hugo's older head.
Hugo: Look! On the road -- A head!
Murphy: Road? Hugo, what are you talking about?
Hugo: I don't get chances to use that joke often.
Panel 4
Exterior of Polyphemus in the near background, a mechanical arm telescopes out to grab the head.
Murphy: Let's hurry up and bring it aboard and then get the hell out of here.
Hugo: No arguments there.
