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 237
Panel 1Exterior view: The shuttle looks like someone ripped the wings and stabilizer off a jet airliner and added six hinged rockets fore, aft and center, and one larger rocket on the stern of the fuselage. It is departing from Circumlunar 2, headed Luna-ward.
Nicole: Hey, I just realized – where's our luggage?
Seamus: I took your bag along with mine and checked it through while you were being, er, randomly screened.
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, Seamus and Nicole, with some other passengers visible in their seats.
Nicole: Will they be safe?
Seamus: Um, define 'safe.'
Panel 3
Closer 2-shot of Seamus and Nicole.
Seamus: Oh, customs agents will paw through our belongings, though it's unlikely they'll steal anything.
Seamus: But we should do a quick inventory at landing just to make certain.
Panel 4
Seamus and Nicole: Nicole is smoldering again.
Nicole: Remind me never to visit this place again.
Seamus: I doubt that I will need to.
