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. We Won.

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!

Transcript For Strip 2203

Panel 1
Inside the clothiers'. Albert and Ka speak with a fish on a bicycle, the store saleclerk. The 'bicycle' is a self-balancing contrivance with flexible arms much like on William Montoya's hoverchair
Ka: Got a customer for ya, Beatrice.
Ka: Also I need help with some math.
Salesclerk: I'll be happy to help.
Panel 2
Albert glances about as Ka and the clerk bend over a pair of screens, exchanging data.
Albert (thought): Of course. The local rulers charge 15 percent on currency exchanges. So folks play games.
Ka: Wait … 12 percent? That's way high.
Clerk: Not for this amount. Unless your guy is actually buying something.
Panel 3
Ka leads Albert over to a full-length screen. Currently shows his reflection.
Ka: Of course he is! Come over here, Nero.
Albert: Ah … I'm Adam.
Ka: Whatever. I've got just the outfit for you.
Panel 4
Now Albert's 'reflection' shows him wearing a different outfit. More punk-pirate-ish.
Ka: What do you think?
Albert: Not sure whether I should be saying 'shiver me timbers' or 'baise la police.'
