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 743
Panel 1In the background, the boxes are arrayed on the ground next to a large apparatus with conduits extending everywhere to suggest this is some sort of vital organ. Seamus and Moe are discussing the situation. In the foreground, Nicole and Murphy confer – Nicole is looking back towards the others.
Nicole: The part of my job I'm best-qualified for and I'm told not to 'get underfoot.'
Murphy: What are they doing?
Panel 2
In the background, Moe has some panels open and Seamus is handing one of his gizmo components to her while holding another. Nicole and Murphy in the foreground.
Nicole: Seamus' gizmo can generate a field completely impervious to EM radiation.
Nicole: In space, this can make a ship practically invisible, so long as you don't get too close.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: I saw it – or an early version of it – in action when we were at Venus.
Nicole: But that unit was self-contained. Why do they have to do an install it into the ship's systems?
Panel 4
Looking at the background again, Moe has a large part of the apparatus disassembled and she's hip-deep in it, her legs sticking out. Seamus is calling over to Nicole.
Seamus: To use the ship's power.
Seamus: Now, will you come help Moe with the flexi-stator coupling?
Moe: No, no, I got this!
