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 304
Panel 1Looking into Rando's apartment, through an entryway into a living room. A lamp in one corner provides most of the illumination, aside from the wall-sized video screen. At the far right is a door leading into a small kitchen
Caption (Nicole): 'I'd like to see your place.'
Caption (Rando): 'Why is that?'
Panel 2
In the middle of the living-room now; the place is tastefully decorated and mostly tidy, save for an empty glass and bowl and a tablet-screen lying on the coffee table.
Caption (Nicole): 'I want to know -- Do you keep it neat, or jumbled?'
Caption (Rando): 'Uh, neat -- mostly.'
Panel 3
Now looking down an inner hallway: there's a door to the left and another straight ahead. We can see a bit into the room on the left -- it has a work-desk and other accoutrements of a home office. The room ahead is dark, can't see inside yet.
Caption (Nicole): Do you have a home office? Or do you keep your work outside of home?
Caption (Rando): 'I like short commutes, if that's not a problem for you.'
Panel 4
We're at the door to the second room -- peering into the dark we can see some bedroom furniture and the foot of a queen-sized bed.
Caption (Nicole): 'mI don't want any mixing of business with pleasure. Promise you won't go into your office while I'm there?'
Caption (Rando): 'Promise.'
