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!

Seamus (OP): It's roughly the correct mass, and it's roughly in the area we expected, based on what Chelsea told us.
Panel 2
Pull back to see everyone – Antigone, Nicole, Ed, Chelsea, Seamus – gathered around the mass detector, with Seamus controlling the device with his tablet 'Watson' while the others look on.
Nicole: It also does not appear on any of the charts.
Seamus: In a few minutes I'll be able to compute its orbit and find out where it's headed.
Panel 3
Antigone, Nicole, Ed, Chelsea.
Chelsea: If it is the black rock, then what? Will we be believed?
Antigone: Yes, I think so.
Panel 4
The others turn to look at Antigone.
Antigone: I've been in touch with the senior S&H agent here on Vesta, and apprised him of the situation.
Antigone: We have almost a million clients on Ceres, you know.
