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!
Transcript For Strip 1317
Panel 1Diana is standing in a large utility room.
Caption: Shortly:
Diana: Okay, Monty, how long am I supposed to wait here?
Monty (OP): Just another moment.
Panel 2
Monty Panther walks up towards Diana, carrying something that looks vaguely like a briefcase. Diana flips out at the sight of him.
Diana: AAAAA!!
Monty: Relax! It is I; Monty. You have not seen this body before.
Monty: The python could not carry this flyer.
Panel 3
The panther has placed the 'briefcase' on the deck two meters in front of Diana, who is recovering from her fright. He is touching his fingers to some studs on top of the case.
Diana: Wha ... what, 'flyer?' That case?
Monty: One more moment. Observe as I push these three buttons in sequence ...
Panel 4
The case pops open, transforming into a two-seated flyer resembling something out of the Jetsons.
Diana: Well, espanque mi.
Monrty: So, you are picking up our vernacular. Good.
Diana: This will take me anywhere in Oz?
Panel 5
Two-shot of Diana and the panther. The panther is presenting a screen to Diana.
Monty: Anywhere open to the public. The on-board navigation will show you.
Monty: While flying is automated, I recommend learning the manual controls in simulator mode.
Monty: But before you leave, you should affirm this covenant. It is the basis of our law.
Panel 6
Looking over Diana's shoulder at the screen, which displays the 'Covenant of Galactica.'
Text: Covenant of Galactica
I, the undersigned, do hereby affirm and promise that I will never initiate or threaten physical coercion against any other person, nor interfere with his enjoyment of his property, within this city, except in defense against such aggression by such person. Furthermore in the event of disputes with others in this city I agree to neutral arbitration by a third party agreeable to all disputants.
Diana: That's all?
Monty (OP): It is enough, no?
