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
Focus on Lorelei, bracketed by Kofi and Alyss. Lorelei looks angy; the other two are going into high alert mode.
Lorelei: You're blocking us from our network?!?
Lorelei: You can't do that without getting our consent first!
Panel 2
Mordy is sitting back, his palms held outward.
Mordy: I can't? I thought there was no law here.
Mordy: Was I misinformed?
Kofi (OP): Apparently, you were.
Panel 3
Kofi speaks up.
Kofi: While we do not have a formal state or legislative body, we do have an organic common law.
Kofi: Respected arbiters adjudicate disputes according to the Covenant and precedent and publish their findings.
Kofi: These findings combine to become our law.
Panel 4
Alyss and Mordy. They are looking at each other levelly.
Alyss: Mind you, blocking someone's paid-for network connection is usually a minor transgression.
Alyss: But in this context it's very rude.
Alyss: Don't do it again.
