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 853
Panel 1In the staterooms corridor, Bill is next to Seamus, who is now curled up in a fetal position around his ruined hand. Dorothy and Mineola are running around the bend. Dorothy is carrying a first-aid kit. Bill looks up at them with relief.
Bill: Dorothy – thank Gourd! Baines crushed Seamus' hand!
Dorothy: I heard!
Seamus: {Mooooaaaaan}
Panel 2
Bill has moved back so Dorothy and Mineola can tend to Seamus.
Bill: Good thing I decided to come down here with Fred and Nelson when we got that fragment of a panic call from his 'Plant.
Panel 3
Angled view so we can see Dorothy pressing something that looks like an Epi-Pen against Seamus' neck, as Mineola pulls a roughly 6x10x15cm-square box out of the kit.
Mineola: I knew there was something off about Baines, but I didn't think he was a dangerous sociopath!
Dorothy: The most dangerous ones disguise themselves well, Mineola.
Panel 4
Angled view to include Bill in the shot. The women are looking startled. Seamus is feeling the effects of the morphine.
Bill: Hey … have you girls seen or heard from Nicole since the alert went out?
