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
In the meeting room, now we see the faces of Jacque Fresco and Peter Joseph projected above the table.
Alyss: I should back up a bit. Roughly a thousand years ago, a scheme to develop an ideal society was proposed by Jacques Fresco, an urban design engineer.
Alyss: This plan, 'The Venus Project,' was popularized by Peter Joseph, a video producer.
Panel 2
A projection of a 'Venus Project' ideal city covers most of the table.
Bok: Wow, that looks familiar.
Alyss: It should. This is an image taken from one of Joseph's videos.
Alyss: Joseph founded an organization named 'The Zeitgeist Movement' to popularize Fresco's concepts of a 'resource-based, sustainable society.'
Panel 3
Zander, Elric, and Alyss.
Zander: 'Zeitgeist?' Is that how 'Zytemonde' got its name?
Alyss: Pretty much. It's a combination of 'Zeit' and 'Monde,' which is the Old French word for 'world.'
Elric: What's a 'French'?
