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
Back to Bok and Li in Li’s ship.
Bok: So you left?
Li: At that point we had eight children, 27 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren living outside the city.
Li: One child, 5 grandchildren and 12 great-grand -kids in the city.
Li: I did the math.
Panel 2
Cut to younger Alyss and younger Dominic (her grandson from Château Périlleux). Li narrates from a cameo.
Li: So I left, but Alyss went straight to her grandson, Dominic Martello.
Li: Alyss went straight to one grandson, Dominic Martello, who was the most gifted mathemagician among them.
Li: He arranged things so that anyone trying to jump into the city using my entry codes ...
Panel 3
Cut to several troop transports popping-in amid multi-colored clouds, and falling.
Caption (Li): ‘… were re-routed to somewhere between the cloud layers of the gas-giant planet Stelter.
Caption: ‘Which was not a good thing for troop transports designed to operate in shirtsleeve micro-gravity.’
Panel 4
Back to Bok and Li in his ship.
Bok: I read about that. It was a major defeat for the hegemon, but didn’t end the war.
Li: No, Hugo Galvéz did that, but that’s the end of the story you demanded.
Li: So can we put into port now?
