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 female guest turns to address Nicole, who is a bit startled.
Female guest: Is it true, young lady, that you are not merely an escort, but the famous Sun-Diving Girl we've heard so much about lately?
Nicole: Er--yes ma'am, I am Nicole Oresme, science assistant and part-time stunt pilot.
Panel 2
Now all eyes are on Nicole.
Female guest: I read that your ship was partially disabled during the dive, and you flew it all the way back to Mercury using your 'Plant?
Nicole: Yes ma'am, I ...
Female guest: Amazing! It must have been a horrendous experience.
Panel 3
Close-up on Nicole, thinking about where she was rather than where she is.
Nicole: Yeah, it was difficult, but easier than getting dressed-up as eye-candy for a bunch of swells ...
Panel 4
Pull back to see the guests, and Seamus. The male guest is suppressing laughter, the female guest looks offended, and Seamus looks mortified. Nicole holds a hand over her mouth.
Nicole: Oh, crat! Did I say that out loud?
