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
A formal dining room, 26th-Century style. Well-appointed, with hardwood paneling and art objects adorning the walls and filling the niches. The table is a good deal shorter than the room, being adjustable, to some extent, to the number of guests. Hari is seated at the head, Seamus to Hari's left and Nicole to Hari's right. There is room for five more seats but the seats aren't there. An open space on the floor suggests where the rest of the table would be if it were needed. Three servants mill about.
Hari: So when you're on Huoxing, you'll be in touch with Po's nephews – what were their names?
Seamus: Tong Xie Po and Ma Bo Nu.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Hari and Seamus.
Hari: Do you trust them?
Seamus: About as far as I can throw them. On Terra.
Panel 3
Medium shot of Nicole. One waiter is removing her salad plate and the other is setting down a plate with her main course. She regards it happily.
Hari (OP): How much do they know about the project?
Seamus (OP): Only what's on record: that it's an inquiry into some more esoteric aspects of quantum vibremonics.
Panel 4
3-shot. Nicole has taken a bit of her food but chokes on it, in reaction to Seamus' comment.
Hari : Do you think they're curious?
Seamus: Doubtful. Tong only cares about money and Ma only cares about pussy.
Nicole: {koff!}
