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 709
Panel 1Exterior of the Argosy flying through space, backwards as it decelerates into the Jovian system.
Seamus: Nicole, may I have a few words with you?
Nicole: Yeah, sure.
Panel 2
Nicole's room. Nicole is sitting in her bed, propped up against pillows, reading something on her personal Screen. She's dressed in dirty tank-top and ¾ length sweat pants, and looks fairly bedraggled. Seamus is standing just inside the door.
Seamus: It's been 22 days since our dinner with the Captain and you've hardly left this room.
Seamus: That's rather out of character for you and I'm concerned.
Panel 3
Seamus sits on the bed next to Nicole, striking a fatherly pose.
Nicole: To tell you the truth, I haven't been sleeping well lately. If I can't be on top of my game, I'd really rather not have to deal with all those Loonies and Terries on this ship.
Seamus: Does this have anything to do with your falling-out with Murphy?
Panel 4
Seamus tries to be sensitive but Nicole just rolls her eyes.
Nicole: Oh yeah, Seamus, after all I've been through – defying death, getting thrown in cages and beaten up, electrocuted, publicly humiliated – the thing that finally breaks me is a spat with a shucking robot.
