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!

Caption: 'She was getting information from many different sources, besides me.
Caption: 'Each bit seemed routine and innocuous enough taken by itself. But put together they were forming a troubling pattern.'
Panel 3
Chelsea peering intently at her monitors.
Caption: 'A sunward scanning telescope on Callisto spotted an uncharted, dark mass transiting Sol.
Caption: 'Normally that datum would be forwarded to Mining Resources, but it wasn't ...'
Panel 4
Back to the present. Nicole is looking impatient. Antigone lays a cautioning hand on Nicole's forearm.
Nicole: Yeah, yeah, very interesting.
Nicole: But look, we're trying to find the backup unit for my arti-folk friend here and ...
Antigone: She'll keep. I want to hear about this.
