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
At the L-5 City spaceport, a bustling concourse of people from around the System. Nicole stands near a gate bearing a sign Alpine Dream: Helios Base, looking around anxiously. She has next to her a smallish carry-on-type bag, which rolls on small wheels. (On a nearby support column we see one of the ubiquitous gravity-level signs. This one reads 'EG3'.)

Panel 2
Seamus strides rapidly into the frame, towards the gate. Nicole has hands on hips, looking askance at him.
Nicole: Boarding began 20 minutes ago!
Seamus: {gasp} Yes, I'm late. {wheeze} Sorry, couldn't be helped {gasp}
Panel 3
As Seamus strides past Nicole, we see three full-sized suitcases-on-wheels following in his wake. Nicole takes notice of them.
Seamus: {gasp} {wheeze} {gasp}
Panel 4
Nicole falls into line behind the last large suitcase, her own carry-on following her. She looks really annoyed.
Seamus: {wheeze} Didn't I say to pack light? {gasp}
Seamus: The spaceliner charges by the kilogram. {wheeze}
