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 788
Panel 1Satrapi's office. Looks like a throne room at once both high-tech and decadent, with Adilieh reposed on an elevated sofa, and two servants (one human, one android, both beautiful) attending. We see her from Seamus' POV.
Adileh: Seamus O'Murchadha! Did you bring me the heart of Snow White?
Panel 2
Switch view to Seamus presenting Murphy.
Seamus: I only have the heart your broke yourself, many years ago.
Seamus: May I present Murphy, heir to Po Xu-ke, and owner de jure of twelve million shares in Project X.
Panel 3
Murphy steps forward to shake hands with Adileh (because her sofa is on a platform she doesn't have to stand to be eye-level with the gynoid).
Adileh: A pleasure to finally meet you.
Adileh: Seamus' description of you was, shall we say, tantalizingly minimalist.
Adileh: But where is your other companion? The famous sun-diver?
Panel 4
Adileh, Murphy, and Seamus. Adileh is trying to complement Murphy but Murphy is cool to it.
Seamus: I'm afraid our travails enroute here were a bit much for her, and she's recuperating at Áine's Spa.
Adileh: I heard about your pirate encounter. Nice rescue work, Murphy.
Murphy: It was nothing. Really.
