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
Nicole's hotel room. The air is being restored, Seamus is opening up his Michelin-Man suit. Nicole remains squatting in her Bubb in the corner.
Seamus: Ah, that's better.
Seamus: Nicole, you can collapse your Bubb now, we have atmo.
Panel 2
Responding to her mental command, Nicole's Bubb collapses away from her into the small oblate spheroid she had pulled out of her bag previously. She is still looking shaken from her ordeal.
Nicole: Could you hand me the bed covers?
Nicole: My anysuit's out in the corridor.
Panel 3
In the left foreground, Seamus is handing the bed cover toward Nicole, whose arm we can see reaching for it from out of the frame. In the middle-right background, the Resolution Agent Antigone Stone strolls in through the door, holding aloft Nicole's jacket and anysuit in her upraised hands. Stone looks something like a female version of Will Smith in his 'Agent J' MIB persona, although her suit is more stylish.
Agent Stone: Would that be this suit, Ms. Oresme? And what about the jacket?
Panel 4
Agent Stone shakes hands with Seamus. In the background, the Hotel Agent strides in through the same door. Seamus has taken the anysuit in his left hand, Antigone still holds the jacket in his own left.
Agent Antigone: I'm Agent Antigone stone, Smith & Holder Resolutions.
Seamus: Yes, these belong to Ms. Oresme. Thank you for coming so promptly.
Hotel Agent: Dammit, Stone, you're supposed to wait for me!
