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
Greta Heidelberg is framed in the doorway as she enters, glancing to the side as she takes in the room. Two security-bots are on her flanks.
Caption: Momentarily:
Greta: I see you've been busy decorating as usual, Mordy.
Panel 2
Mordecai has walked over to meet Greta with a fist-bump.
Greta: I hope you've had time and resources to spare for Project Rainbow.
Mordecai: Oh, this stuff? Replicas and copies, of course.
Mordecai: You wouldn't believe how inexpensive it all is here.
Panel 3
Mordecai turns away and gestures towards a bust of Niccolò Machiavelli on a lighted pedestal nearby.
Greta: Indeed.
Mordecai: Well, except for my good friend Niccolò, here. I brought him from home.
Greta: Niccolò … was he an emperor?
Panel 4
Mordecai is turned away from Greta as he discreetly wipes his right hand with a handkerchief in his left hand. Meanwhile she's picking her nose.
Mordecai: Oh no, he was just a writer.
Mordecai: A few plays, some treatises on philosophy and military strategies.
Mordecai: Hardly anyone's heard of him.
