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
Cut to exterior of Causa Sui and Pbbttppbt-fff orbiting the planet Bbrrrbtpff
CP (from Causa Sui): I was hoping to be able to view the workings of your hyperspace slipstream drive.
CP: What is it like to travel through this slipstream?
Panel 2
Murphy, Hugo and CP walking along a corridor.
Hugo: You might be disappointed, I'm afraid.
Hugo: By subjective time, transitions appear to be instantaneous.
Hugo: And traveling from star to star, they might as well be. But only by transiting a very long distance can an 'objective' time interval be accumulated.
Panel 3
They enter a room with a broad, curved wall.
Murphy (thoughtsend): The observation deck? I hope you know what you're doing.
Hugo (thoughtsend): Trust me, I have a plan.
Murphy: I hope this is a better plan than your last one.
Hugo: We … don't remember my last plan.
Murphy: No, but we know the result.
