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
In Andrew Kolk's office, the secretary shows Hari Copperton in. Some other stiff in a suit stands near Kolk's desk.
Caption: One week after Seamus, Nicole and Buford have departed Luna:
Hari: So you have all the documents, Mr. Kolk?
Kolk: I wouldn't have asked you over here otherwise, Mr. Copperton.
Panel 2
Hari takes a seat which has extruded itself in front of Kolk's desk. The other man remains standing, as Kolk indicates him.
Kolk: Mr. Jennings is here from Sandford's as our Fair Witness. Is he acceptable?
Hari: His credentials check out, I accept his service.
Panel 3
Jennings hands Hari a 50cm Screen.
Jennings: Here is the agreement in full, with all qualifications, appurtenances and appendices attached, for the sale of your tower at 371 Locke Avenue and its location to OT Property Management, in consideration for 232 mega-miltons.
Jennings: Please verify and touch your right palm in the box indicated.
Panel 4
Hari's hand hovers over the tablet held in his other hand, and he frowns at it. Kolk is impatient; Jennings implacable.
Hari: ...
Kolk: Not having second thoughts, I hope?
Hari: I've lived in that tower a long time, Kolk. Give me a few minutes to reassure myself here.
