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
Same scene, Seamus is lecturing the girls.
Seamus: It may well be that Ma Bo-Nu deserved his fate.
Seamus: And in L-5 City, or in the Belt, you might have a good case.
Seamus: But this is Huoxing and Buford's rash action has placed us all in jeopardy.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Seamus.
Seamus: So our focus now must be on getting off Huoxing -- as quietly as possible.
Seamus: Once we're at the Stickney Spaceport on Phobos, we should be out of danger.
Seamus: But until we get there, I want no more screw-ups, understand?
Panel 3
Looking past Seamus at the girls. Nicole, still inebriated, is giving Seamus a mock-salute. Buford is more subdued, and Ventura looks apprehensive.
Nicole: Roger wilco, bossaroonie!
Buford: Understood, sir. I'll do my job.
Ventura: But, what is to become of me? Nicole said ...
Panel 4
Two-shot of Seamus and Ventura (we'll also see Nicole in the frame), Seamus looks at the android tenderly.
Seamus: Veronica, I promise that I will do my best to honor Po Xu-ke's wishes for you.
Seamus: At the very least, I'll get you off-world.
Seamus: But, you'll have to trust me.
