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.

Quantum Vibe: Nicole - By Scott Bieser w/Zeke Bieser

What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]

The War is Over. We Won.

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 492

Panel 1
Nicole walks over to where her holo-beret is laying on the ground, picks it up. We can see Buford and Ventura in the background.
Nicole: Another question I have is ...
Nicole: How the hell did Ma-Bo Nu know where to find us?
Nicole: Ventura,do you have some kind of tracker on you?
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Ventura. Nicole is placing the beret on her head. The medium-length curls re-appear.
Ventura: My owner has one in me, in case a rental customer fails to return me.
Nicole: That doesn't explain how Ma-Bo was able to find us.
Nicole: Can you do a self-scan, and see if you have a second tracking device?
Panel 3
Nicole is picking up the two shopping bags that had been dropped in the fight earlier. Ventura is in the foreground, with a sort of glazed look in her eyes (she's looking inward).
Ventura: Uhm ... huh. Yes, there's a second beacon.
Nicole: Can you turn it off? Or remove it?

Panel 4
Close 3-shot of Buford, Nicole and Ventura. Ventura looks a bit embarrassed.
Ventura: I can't deactivate it, and I'll need some help to remove it.
Ventura: It's located in -- a rather inconvenient place.
