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
Cut to: Inside Murray’s house. Small, modest, wooden. Murray is a 130-cm-tall, old man with white crazy hair. He and Li are leaning over a wooden table, examining a paper map.
Murray: So the inn is over in the southwest section, but the restaurant is about 200 meters north, next to the apothecary.
Li: Are there other places she might frequent?
Panel 2
We can see the form of cloaked William standing quietly in a corner near a window, behind Murray and Li
Murray: Depends on whether she’s looking to stay.
Murray: Rental agent’s, maybe the green-grocer’s.
Murray: But I’d put my money on the inn.
Panel 3
Li looks over at the window which shows a darkening outside.
Li: Well, it’s getting late, so we need to get going, and thanks.
Li: Let’s go, William.
Li: William?
Panel 4
William pops up on the other side of the panel, between Murray and Li, having exited his battle suit, with a half-eaten rat sticking out of this mouth.
Murray: !
William: Juffta moabebt.
Panel 5
Li facepalms while Murray challenges William
Murray: That better not be one of my laboratory rats!
William: Er … laboratory? Was that a rat cage?
William: I beg your pardon. I thought it was a snack dispensary.
Panel 6
William and Li are walking along a path towards the town. It’s almost dark.
