Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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
Bok, Zander and Diana seat themselves in overstuffed chairs arrayed around a coffee table in a comfortable-looking lounge. On a large, curved wall before them are what appear to be windows affording a view of a starry sky.
Bok: Wherever we are, I guess it's still night-time here. The windows ...
Michael: I'm sorry, but those are not windows. They are monitor screens.
Zander: Wow, really?
Panel 2
The kids are startled by Michael's next revelation.
Michael: I should also inform you that what you are seeing is not a 'night sky.'
Michael: It is how space always looks here. Let me rotate the view a bit ...
Panel 3
The kids are dumbfounded by what they see and hear next. On the monitor screens appears a fairly bright star in the starfield. (We can see the kids' faces reflected in the lower part of the screen.)
Michael: That particularly bright star is the star your world orbits.
Michael: We are in a space-station located half a light-year from that star, well outside its heliopause.
