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
Back on Ganymede, Murphy is speaking with a Beltape woman at Wingspeed Travel Agency (there's a sign on the wall).
Caption: Back on Ganymede:
Travel Agent: I'm sorry, but there's not another transport of any kind from here to the Saturn System scheduled for the next three tendays.
Murphy: What about charter?
Panel 2
Close 2-shot of the Agent and Murphy.
Agent: For knocking around the Jove system, and even to Ceres or Mars, sure.
Agent: But Saturn's over 2 billion klicks away now, and falling farther behind relative to us, and any boat with that kind of range would require at least a 2-million augram deposit.
Panel 3
Murphy is downcast, the Agent is sympathetic.
Murphy: I … don't have that much money.
Agent: I'm sorry, hon …
Agent: Is there anything else I can do for you?
Panel 4
Murphy looks at the Agent sadly.
Murphy: Can you ... line up an itinerary to L-5 City for me?
