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 1664
Panel 1Theo continues down a corridor as Murphy and Hugo flank him.
Theo: Our initial scans of this galaxy indicated the networked gravimetric distortions that you no doubt found yourselves.
Theo: We chose to explore a sector dominated by an insectoid species … the Brennir.
Panel 2
Cut scene to show Hugo and Murphy Mk1 in conversation with a trio of Brennir.
Caption (Theo): 'First contact seemed to go quite smoothly. I think they were as curious about us as we were about them.'
Caption 2: 'Of course they were especially curious about our Displacement Drive. And of course we tried to deflect their attention to less-dangerous prizes.'
Panel 3
Two of the Brennir shoot Hugo and Murphy with energy weapons.
Caption (Theo): 'But they were not deflected, and eventually decided they could take what they wanted by force.'
Caption: 'As Alyss might have said, we were insufficiently paranoid. And thus, captured.'
