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 2321
Panel 1A column of soldiers marches towards a displacer portal. Above them, the flying armored vehicles pop-out via their onboard displacers.
Caption: As foot-soldiers march through the captured displacer network towards their selected destinations, armored carriers pop towards the various spheres via their on-board displacers.
Panel 2
In a public concourse, soldiers pour in through a pair of portals, surprising the nearby citizens.
Caption: The foot-soldiers disperse through public portals in the various spheres.
Caption: The citizens gawk but don’t know how to respond at this point.
Panel 3
At a junction matrix, armored vehicles pop-in around the junction, blocking local craft seeking to pass through.
Caption: The junction matrices are not tied to the portal network, but as critical infrastructure, are quickly captured by invading ‘Snappers.’
Panel 4
Cut back to Mordy and Heidelberg at the Rainbow portal
Heidelberg: This could go a lot faster if we just used the portals to walk into the prime targets.
Mordy: Those network nodes are protected by coded lock-outs. We’ll have to take those places the hard way.
