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 957
Panel 1A group of med techs are running with some patients on guerneys through a cavern tunnel, looking anxiously about them. Some dust falls from the ceiling.
Caption: 'Those efforts were complicated by the breakout of the First Lunar Revolt in the year 219.'
Caption: 'The rejuventors lost two of the six patients in their care in that year, as they hurriedly moved from place to place, avoiding the battles.'
Panel 2
Johanna and Antigone.
Antigone: Do you mean, 'lost' as in the two patients died, or as in, they were misplaced?
Johanna: They actually did misplace one of the patients. The other died simply due to the harsh circumstances.
Antigone: Sorry, please continue.
Panel 3
Back to the story – physicians are attending Freeman who is now encased in a high-tech coccoon.
Caption: 'Eventually, new advances in bio-molecular science allowed the rejuvenators to attempt a daring new gambit, in 223:
Caption: 'They literally REGREW an entire new body for the fugitive, using the shell of the old as a matrix. Replicating detail down to the last neuron synapse.'
Panel 4
The technicians open the coccoon, and reveal the rejuvenated Farnsworth/Freeman, now resembling the young O'Murchadha.
Caption: 'His outward appearance changed – but his memories, his sense of who he was, remained intact.'
Caption (different colored box): 'Objection!'
