Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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!
Transcript For Strip 2206
Panel 1Ka and Albert continue along the boardwalk. The shadowy figure still follows. He's the guy in the doorway of Daisy Haze a few pages back.
Albert: I know she's not in Bubbleopolis – which is quite civilized, by the way.
Albert: But Shārén and Cahuenga Renascido are whole planets.
Albert: Did Zondra mention any favorite places on t hose worlds?
Panel 2
Ka and Albert proceed out of the frame to right. The shadowy figure is now a bit more recognizeable.
Ka: On Shārén, there's a burg about 1500 klicks from the capitol city: Sovad.
Ka: I think that's where she's originally from.
Albert (thought): Well, that squares with the data Sergio gave me.
Panel 3
Now the Shadowy Figure is moving to the right of the frame and we see ANOTHER figure following.
Albert (OP): How about that other world – Cahuenga?
Ka (OP): It's a kind of back-to-nature camp for city tourists. She said she liked to 'lose herself' there.
Albert (OP) (thought): But if she's hiding she won't go anyplace she's easily recognized, so ...
Panel 4
The second figure comes more into view. He is dressed in flowing, light-colored robes, and hooded, but a bit of reddish-brown curls peek out.
Albert: Did she talk about any place she'd LIKE to go but never has?
Ka: Hmmm …. couple of places. A planet called 'Bad Axe,' and some place she called 'Hasta La Vista' but I don't think it's a planet.
