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
Cathy, Nicole, and Seamus at the counter. Cathy has her screen out, set to notepad-size. Nicole is holding the Witness rather ineptly, pointing it up away from the people around her.
Cathy: Since you're new to firearms we strongly recommend you sign up for a handgun safety course, which is offered at the shooting range next door.
Nicole: Uh-huh.
Panel 2
Cathy, Nicole and Seamus. Nicole has removed the magazine (empty) and is looking at it curiously.
Nicole: Is there a way I can try before I buy?
Cathy: Of course. We can send a fab order to the range and they'll have a copy ready for you. No obligation beyond the course fees.
Panel 3
Same scene, Nicole lays the display gun down on the counter, now Seamus speaks up.
Nicole: I've already trained to use a zinger. Not sure why I need ...
Seamus: Oh, you really should take the course. There are differences between zinger and firearm that will surprise you.
Panel 4
Cathy smiles as she taps the order into her Screen. Nicole still isn't sure she isn't being snookered.
Nicole: All right.
Nicole: Kind of a convenient arrangement you have with that range, huh.
Cathy: No one told us we couldn't do it.
