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 broadcast is over. Zander has arrived, Sheldon is standing by, and Alyss speaks with them.
Alyss: Well, how did I do?
Panel 2
Zander and Bok make an Alyss sandwich.
Bok: You were magnificent.
Zander: I’m just thrilled to see you again.
Alyss: Sorry, Zander, but keeping that secret was a tactical advantage.
Panel 3
Bok, Zander and Alyss
Bok: What I don’t know is, will our people resist the temptation to settle scores?
Alyss: I don’t know, either. The current armistice could come apart otherwise.
Sheldon: I will be mobilizing counselors to discourage retributions.
Panel 4
Bok, Zander, Sheldon and Alyss
Alyss: Also, many of their exeutives have said they would be requesting asylum, so they could stay here.
Zander: Do you think that’s even possible?
Alyss: Who knows? That’ll be up to the Arbiters.
Panel 5
Bok, Zander, Sheldon and Alyss
Alyss: But Sergio has told them they would have a better case if their side sticks to the armistice.
Sheldon: The soldiers and techs, for better or for worse, are brain-locked to obey the executives.
Panel 6
Bok, Zander and Alyss
Bok: You promised we’d be returning to the 5-Star system soon. How soon?
Alyss: We’re … working on it.
