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
Class has commenced. Mr. Foot is pointing at some chart on the holoscreen containing logos of the Old Mercorps and arrows pointing to the shield of the Galactic Republic.
Caption: After a short while:
Foot: … and so we see that the Second Interstellar War presaged the current era of peace.
Foot: The powerful Mercorps, exhausted from the decades of conflict ...
Panel 2
Foot smirks at Bok, sitting in his row. The other students glance at him.
Foot: … agreed to merge into a Galactic Republic, governed by a Galactic Senate.
Foot: The Senate of course later became the Intergalactic Council ...
Foot: … which keeps the peace whether certain revisionists want to believe that or not.
Panel 3
Bok looks levelly back at Foot, who is not amused.
Bok: Last Threeday we all saw how … vigorously our masters 'keep the peace.'
Bok: So, I will keep my own peace.
Bok: For the present.
