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
Cut to the control cabin of the Cissonius. Manny is in his seat, Bill poking his head up through the access hatch.
Caption: Two days later:
Bill: What is it now?
Manny: That freighter which passed close-by earlier – the Cristina Kirchner – has changed course and is now on intercept with us.
Panel 2
Bill climbs into his chair.
Bill: Alert Hugh, in case this means trouble.
Bill: I'll get Seamus up here, I think we'll need him.
Panel 3
Now Seamus is poking his head through the access hatch. Bill and Manny are both tense.
Bill: Ahoy the freighter Cristina Kirchner.
Bill: This is Captain William Abbot of the Cissonius.
Bill: You appear to be on collision course with us. Please divert or state your intentions.
Panel 4
On a monitor, we see the face of Nicole. She's wearing her Sun-Diver jacket, and looks all-business.
Nicole: This is Captain Nicole Oresme of the liberated freighter Isabel Paterson.
Nicole: My intent is to come alongside. Requesting permission to send over two … guests.
