Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1658
Panel 1Ralf helps Eithne limp back to their cruiser.

Panel 2
Inside the airlock, Ralf touches a panel and the outer door closes behind them.
Ralf: That Goon somehow got past the dock's security.
Ralf: From now on, we keep this boat buttoned-up.
Eithne: That will make it difficult to do exterior work.
Ralf: We'll use the Work-Bee for that.
Panel 3
Eithne is sitting in her cock-pit chair, swiveled around to face aft. Ralf is scanning her foot with a medi-kit.
Ralf: One simple fracture to your … fourth toe?
Eithne: My nano-bots will set and mend the fracture. I just need painkillers.
Ralf: Well, so much for my plans to take you dancing.
Eithne: Now you tell me.
