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
Same shot from slightly different angle. Alex has turned back to glare in Zondra's direction.
Zondra (OP, electronic): I forgot to mention that we're in deep space, and there's a million light-years of nothing on the other side of those doors.
Zondra: So, you have ten seconds to persuade me not to open them.
Panel 2
Same shot, Alex is giving her the finger with both hands, his face a mask of grim defiance.
Zondra (OP, electronic): Ah, I see.
Zondra: Well, if you're not going to be entertaining, then ...
Panel 3
Now we see the exterior of Zondra's space-craft. A well-worn small cruiser, self-illuminated against a very black void. An airlock door has opened and Alex is getting blown out of it. He's still holding up his fingers.
Zondra (from craft): … To hell with you.
Panel 4
We pull back and we see the cruiser back-lit by a sprawling irregular galaxy beyond it.
Zondra (from craft): And now -- finally! -- for my well-earned retirement .
