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
Nicole has been escorted to a guard station. She is no longer wearing the manacles, and the guard at the station is handing her a mobile-phone-like device.
Guard: All right, kid, you get your tel call. Use this handset.
Guard: Make sure you call the right number.
Panel 2
Close-up on Nicole, holding the phone in front of her, finger poised over keypad. In the space above her head we see the listing for 'Smith & Holder Resolutions - Aldrinopolis Offices' with the sub-heading 'For emergency services' and a 9-digit number string.
Caption: Nicole accesses the address listings stored in her cortical implant ...
Panel 3
Another close-up on Nicole, shifted angle. Now she's remembering Hari Copperton giving her his number, moments after the last panel in strip 246. A memory bubble fills most of the panel.
Copperton: Well, if you should ever need me, for whatever reason, here's my contact info, okay?
Panel 4
Split into 2 panels: In the first, Nicole punches a number into the keypad. In the second, she's holding the handset to the side of her head, speaking into it.
Nicole: H-Hello, Hari? It's Nicole ...
