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 2329
Panel 1Bok appears on his Las Noticías Indelicadas newscast set.
Bok: So far I’ve received reports of this so-called ‘Freedom Legion’ invading 128 of the 153 spheres in Bubbleopolis.
Bok: Hundreds of citizens have been critically injured in confrontations with these ‘Libérateurs.’
Panel 2
Jerome Falstaff on his own Noticías Inacreditável newscast set.
Jerome: After numerous brief skirmishes the public seems to have mostly gone to ground ...
Jerome: Remaining in their homes and shuttered businesses and awaiting word from the Pillars, the security companies, or even Resposta Ciudadana, who all seem to have been blind-sided by these events.
Panel 3
Back to Bok, over his shoulder we see Eva Jeanne in battle with snappers near the Shield Hall building.
Bok: The invaders seem focused on key locations, especially Shield Hall, where the control center for the city’s Oresme Shield is heretofore ‘secretly’ located.
Bok: Deslocação Dinámico has put out an S.o.s. to all parties capable of coming to their aid.
Panel 4
Split panel: On the left is Jerome, on the right, Bok.
Jerome: For the moment, the forces seem equally matched, but more invaders and assault craft are appearing each minute.
Bok: The invaders control the intra-city displacer matrix. Private portals seem secure, but security forces are hobbled in their movements.
Jerome and Bok: Whether the city remains free or falls to the invaders, will be determined in the next few days.
Caption: Story concludes in Part 3!
