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 1342
Panel 1The gang are now in a fire-fight with guardbots coming at them from both directions.
SFX: ZING! ZING! ZING! ZING! ZING!
Sargon: That's thirty-five, I think.
Elric: You're keeping count?
Lupin: We're getting bogged down.
Alyss: Time to make a hole.
Panel 2
Alyss has unslung her long-gun and is firing it at a wall. A heavy beam emits from it.
Alyss: Fire in the hole!
Panel 3
That wall now has a gaping hole in it, and beyond that we can see another hole, and beyond that, another. Alyss is throwing some more large pebbles through the hole.
Alyss: Follow me!
Panel 4
The gang follow Alyss through another corridor.
Lupin: Not through that hole?
Alyss: Misdirection. Those tracers I tossed will lead them away from us.
Alyss: For a few minutes, anyway.
Panel 5
The gang emerge through a double-doorway, but stop short, astonished by what they're seeing.
Sargon: Good gourd.
Elric: I'd heard rumors, but ...
Alyss: This must be ...
Panel 6
Reverse view, so we see what the gang is seeing: A large room with four hospital-type beds, each containing a person in a hospital-type gown, his or her head pressed into elaborate machinery.
Alyss: … where they took poor Santiago.
