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
Our protagonists continue ambling through the science museum.
Murphy: Mr. Situ, would it be too forward of me to ask how you and Seamus met?
Li: Not at all, and please call me Li.
Panel 2
Closer 4-shot on our protagonists:
Li: It was through a mutual friend. Seamus ...
Li: I'd better give you some background.
Li: I was born 86 years ago here on Ganymede, though my parents were both from Luna ...
Panel 3
Flashback scene: Young blue-collar family in their kitchen. Older boy (about 7) and younger sister is a toddler. Things are a bit cramped but everyone looks comfortable.
Li (caption): 'Dad was brought in to help manage ore processing, and mom came with him and was a daycare provider before I and my sister came along.'
Panel 4
Back to the now. Murphy and Li as Seamus and Nicole look on.
Murphy: Your mother –? I thought company policy was not to bring wives or very many women.
Li: What? Oh, a couple or three hundred years ago, maybe, but not in the 480s.
Li: Trosberg is nearly as old as L5 City. Just not as populated.
