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
Exterior view of the D.O.M.5 restaurant, a free-floating structure nestled among some others. This sphere is fairly uptown.
Caption: And, so they met:
Alyss: You passed the holo-screens and the DNA scan matches the records from the medical procedures you received courtesy of Lorelei deCleyre.
Alyss: So I'm going to assume you're for real …
Alyss: … unless you slip up somehow.
Panel 2
Diana and Alyss are seated across from each other in a booth that looks exactly like the one in the early part of 'Château Périlleux.' Diana is looking a bit reticent.
Alyss: So, what's this 'long story' about losing your implant?
Diana: A job took me out to Dennisova, on Gochica. I, uh, well …
Diana: I fell into a trap.
Panel 3
Alyss laughs, as Diana blushes.
Alyss: HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Alyss: Sorry, but that does seem to be your habit.
Diana: It wasn't funny at the time. I was electrocuted.
Panel 4
Now Alyss is blushing.
Alyss: Ai mi cabaça! That's terrible!
Diana: It fried most of the implant's memory.
Alyss: That's … unusual but it's been known to happen.
