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 449
Panel 1In the drawing room, Tong Xie-Po and Peng-Bo Shen confront Seamus.
Seamus: You will find I do not respond well to threats, Mr. Peng-Bo, no matter how delicately implied.
Peng-Bo: Threat? I think you misunderstand, no threat was intended.
Panel 2
Peng-Bo smiles an oily smile
Peng-Bo: All I ask is that you call for a vote on the shares transfer.
Peng-Bo: And of course I hope you will at least consider endorsing the action. For the benefit of your late friend's family, if nothing else.
Panel 3
Seamus leans back in his chair, arms crossed, still not looking happy.
Seamus: I will call for the vote, as you request.
Seamus: And as a courtesy to Po Xu-Ke's heirs I will not speak against the transfer.
Panel 4
Three-shot of Xie-Po, Peng-Bo, and Seamus. The latter two are staring daggers at one another while being superficially polite.
Seamus: Of course, the procedure will take a bit of time, as the shareholders are scattered throughout the system. Speed-of-light lag and all that.
Peng-Bo: Then please proceed without delay.
