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
Eithne and Ralf running together down a corridor, Eithne a bit in the lead.
Eithne (thought): He's not as fast as I am but fast enough.
Eithne (thought): Once we get past the main junction I can trigger the vacuum alarms.
Panel 2
Eithne and Ralf run through the main junction. A pair of Gluteans are emerging from one of the other corridors and see them.
Eithne (thought): Spotted! Well, I figured as much.
Eithne (thought): And Murphy thinks I waste my time playing virtual commando games.
Eithne (thought): Just a few more meters ...
Panel 3
Eithne and Ralf pass through an archway into another corridor. Alarms flash and the gateway begins to close.
SFX: FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!!
Eithne: That'll keep most of 'em bottled up for at least a kilosec.
Panel 4
A trio of burly Glutean guards block the way ahead.
Eithne (thought): Not all of them, unfortunately.
Eithne (thought): This calls for hyperspeed.
Panel 5
Eithne suddenly darts forward and plants a fist square into the face of one of the gluteans, sending him reeling backward.
Eithne (thought): Up to you now, Ralf.
Panel 6
Ralf has grabbed one of the remaining three Gluteans by the legs and is using him to swat the other two. Eithne looks on from panel's edge
Eithne (thought): Now, there's some poetry in motion.
