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
In the cargo bay – the capsule containing Nicole has been opened, and she is being lifted from it by a man we can only see from behind. She has a breathing mask on her face and appears unconscious. He is not wearing the same clothing as Baines. Bobinardi is looking on and he is not happy.
Caption: A bit more than three hours later:
Wayne: That's not O'Murchadha!
Man: Oh, you noticed.
Panel 2
Swing the view around so we get a good three shot with 'the Man,' a jowly-faced fellow with a 5 o'clock shadow, Mr. Tombs, who is still carrying an unconscious Nicole.
Tombs: The primary target was able to evade me, so I took the secondary target.
Wayne: Mr. Tombs, you promise more than you deliver.
Panel 3
Tombs lays Nicole on a platform. Bobinardi looks on.
Tombs: I thought you wanted the information that O'Murchadha has.
Tombs: He can trade it for his granddaughter here.
Panel 4
Bobinardi sees the light. Tombs removes the breather mask from Nicole
Wayne: His granddaughter? Really?
Tombs: In a manner of speaking. He cares about her and we can use that to crowbar what you want out of him.
