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!
Transcript For Strip 447
Panel 1Nicole, with Ventura trailing, walks up to a group of people. Three primaries and their escorts. The escorts closest to Nicole are wearing gowns identical to the style Mr. Thien had sold to Seamus.
Nicole: Ah, beg your pardon, but where did you get those, uh, fascinating gown designs?
Panel 2
The other females' primary turns to look disdainfully at Nicole and Ventura. She looks haughtily right back at him.
Primary: I beg your pardon, but where is your primary?
Nicole: My Dr. O'Murchadha is in a private conference with our host, Mr. Tong.
Panel 3
Now all eyes are Nicole. She stands forth bravely, with Ventura close behind.
Primary: Well then, miss, if you must know, these are exclusive designs made for us by the peerless Mr. Thien Kim-Ly.
Nicole: Indeed? They remind me of some clownsuits I saw at the Spriocghrúpa shop last year in L-5 City.
Panel 4
Nicole turns and walks away, leading Ventura by the hand. Nicole smiles a satisfied smile as the people she leaves behind fume at her.
Ventura: That is not the conversation script I had in mind.
Nicole: I like mine better.
