Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 547
Panel 1Still at the table in Callahan's.
Nicole: So ya partnered up with th' dangerous fool, huh?
Seamus: I needed the money to buy Tong Xie-Bo's shares, and for other expenses. Also, I think this has served other purposes.
Panel 2
Buford pipes up.
Buford: What other purposes?
Seamus: Mainly, making sure that if the investigators catch up to you for your -- ah -- wetwork in Rizhao, we have a well-placed ally who can run interference.
Panel 3
Buford gets defensive.
Buford: T'at wasn't 'wetwork,' t'at was defending Murphy here.
Seamus: Murphy? Who's Murphy?
Nicole: That's our Robot-Girl's new liberty name. D'ya like it?
Panel 4
Murphy smiles sweetly at Seamus.
Murphy: I chose it to honor you. It is derived ...
Seamus: From O'Murchadha, yes, I know. It's an anglicization.
Seamus: I suppose you could've done worse.
