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
Barely visible, a dark, highly reflective, flattened spheroid arcs underneath Saturn's southern pole.
Voice 1 from spheroid: Both the EM shield and mass detector are working like champs.
Voice 2 from spheroid: Course correction successful, Brigid is now tracking Course Beta.
Panel 2
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Won't our shield silhouette against Saturn, or the Sun? Someone could spot us.
Murphy: I chose this course to avoid getting in the line of sight from any known observatory in the Saturn system.
Panel 3
A tactical illustration of the girls' course arcing over the ecliptic plane, across the system from Saturn to their destination on the far side of Sol. Murphy is in a cameo.
Murphy: Also, we will spend most of our time well above the ecliptic plane rather than in it, so no one is going to see us silhouetted against Sol.
Panel 4
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: That's great. But I'm worried about this 'gravity drive' we're using. Has it been tested at all?
Murphy: The prototype worked fine. Where's your sense of adventure?
