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
The court room. On the left, we see Judge Antonio Neopolitan on the bench screen (at a fairly severe angle), in the center, Nicole and George Ringo, on the right, the Prosecutor.
Neopolitan: Court finds sufficient evidence to hold defendant over for trial on the charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Neopolitan: Now, as for bail ...
Panel 2
In the foreground rignt, Medium shot of the Prosecutor, Ms. Shroeder. In the background left, Nicole and Ringo. Nicole casts an angry glance at Shroeder.
Shroeder: Your honor we believe that as an alien transient, defendant is a significant flight risk and recommend no bail be granted.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Ringo. Nicole is still looking banged-up.
Ringo: Your honor my client is no transient -- she is under contract to a respected employer and is on Luna as part of her job.
Ringo: Furthermore she is bonded with Smith & Holder Associates, and has a good credit rating.
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot, Nicole looking at the judge with puppy eyes as Ringo continues talking.
Ringo: She also has no prior criminal record, and we can present excellent references.
Ringo: Defendant requests to be released on her own recognizance.
