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 2306
Panel 1The citizens have wrestled the back-pack from the woman as a third citizen, a large, muscled, buzz-cut fellow, runs in from the right.. Jerome holds Bok back.
Woman: Get off me!
Jerome: No, wait.
Jerome: Something’s up.
Panel 2
The large bald guy has a hand-scanner out and is running it over the back-pack. Bok and Jerome approach slowly.
Large Buzzcut Guy: Okay, we found it. Neutralizing now.
Woman: You can’t do this!
LBG: We just did, Luisa.
Panel 3
Bok and Jerome now in the medium ground, looking on to the scene.
Jerome: Yeah, I thought I recognized him. Probably found another bomb.
Bok: Him who?
Jerome: Everyone calls him ‘Ro-Jo.’ He’s part of that ‘Citizen Response’ outfit we were discussing.
Panel 4
Pull back a bit, we see Ro-Jo pulling a menacing-looking gadget out of the backpack in the left foreground.
Bok: How’d they know about the backpack? They took an awful risk of an arbitration.
Jerome: They got a spy network of some kind. Deeper than Cooper Security’s, even.
Bok: I’m not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
