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
The Clerk and Murphy are seated at a table in a night-club. The Clerk has a frozen margarita; Murphy has her usual lubricant. The Clerk is a bit intimidated by Murphy's stoicism.
Clerk: So … um … tell me about yourself?
Murphy: Until 85 days ago I was the bound concubine of one of the richest men on Huoxing. Po Xu-ke made his fortune developing longevity treatments, but then allowed himself to die.
Panel 2
Now the Clerk is more intimidated by who Murphy is.
Murphy: Afterward I was manumitted and have been traveling with Seamus O'Murchadha, the celebrated physicist and inventor.
Murphy: Along with his assistant, Nicole Oresme, the famous 'Sun-Diver Girl.'
Murphy: What about you?
Panel 3
The Clerk is on the spot.
Clerk: Oh! I … uh …. well, I manage the Quantum Express office here on Ganymede, as you know.
Clerk: And … uh … in my spare time I write about local politics for an altvlog …
Clerk: … um … I guess that's not as exciting ...
Panel 4
Murphy looks at the Clerk coolly.
Murphy: What do you say we skip past this awkward warm-up and go have the sex you really wanted anyway?
Clerk: Can't I at least PRETEND to be seducing you?
