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
Kāng and Horton approach the main Displacer-Net portal for the building. It consists of three hexagonal doorways with a small enclosed operations booth to the side.
Horton: How do we shut this thing down?
Kāng: That control booth ...
Panel 2
Suddenly more Libérateurs emerge from the three doorways and begin firing at Kāng and Horton.
Kāng: 他妈的!
Panel 3
Kāng resumes the whirling-blade move, ZANGs bouncing off.
Kāng: Better to capture this asset, if we can, than destroy it with a lightning bolt.
Kāng: Can you bounce a grenade around my shield?
Panel 4
Split panel: in first smaller part, we see Horton throwing the grenade. In the second part we see it bounce off a wall and directly towards the invaders.
Horton: Yessir.
SFX: TK!
Panel 5
The grenade explodes, throwing the squad of invaders back just as more begin to emerge from the portals.
SFX: BWAMM!
Panel 6
Looking past Kāng and Horton at the portals. A pile of dazed/unconscious Libérateurs lie before the portals, through which more invaders are beginning to emerge.
Kāng: This reminds me of the ancient fable about ‘the marching Chinese.’
