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
Seamus is reclining in his bed, wearing his slacks and shirt, viewing something on his personal Screen.
From the screen: Dearest Seamus – things have been routine here but news of the Vesta Vista scandal did stir things up quite a bit.
Screen: Vivian Wells is an in-situ engineer on loan from VV and I'm afraid she caught a lot of flack from some of the staff.
Panel 2
We see what Seamus sees on his screen – in a window, Dr. Johanna Diamondi speaking, in a pre-recorded message. (Text on screen reads SENT: 16.10.566)
Johanna: I managed to calm things down by pointing out that Wells was just one of hundreds of VV employees who had nothing to do with the plot to smash Ceres.
Johanna: It helped that people here know that I'm engaged to you.
Panel 3
Seamus, looking bemused as the message continues.
Johanna (from Screen): Word of your involvement in foiling the plot has made you something of a celebrity here.
Johanna: Everyone is looking forward to meeting you when you arrive in December.
Panel 4
Cut to Murphy standing outside the door into Seamus' room, looking pensive.
Johanna (OP): Of course I'm looking forward to that too. Also, to when you're close enough that light-lag doesn't prevent us from chatting in real time.
Johanna: Love you, darling. Please respond soon.
