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 1744
Panel 1Juan comes dragged-ass into the outer office. Diana glances over at him.
Caption: Before long:
Diana: Good morning, boss. Fortunately Martinez called to say she'll be late, too.
Juan: Don't call me 'boss.' Please fetch a liter of coffee and some zipcakes for me.
Panel 2
Diana is walking into Juan's office carrying a growler of coffee and a box large enough to hold a half-dozen donuts. Juan has his desktop holoscreen up, and is studying it. It's full of graphs.
Diana: What are you looking at?
Juan: Bond market indices. I need to figure out how to invest all the money we're going to earn from this job.
Panel 3
Diana crosses arrms and looks askance at Juan as Juan sips from his growler while continuing to look at his holoscreen.
Diana: Aren't you jumping the gun a bit? We haven't solved this case yet.
Juan: What? You've had most of the morning already and haven't cracked it yet?
Juan: I'm disappointed.
Panel 4
Diana, standing in front of the desk, leans across the holoscreen and gets in Juan's face.
Diana: Very funny. The info we got from Roaz is barely anything.
Diana: You should go out and talk to your contacts at S&H and find out what they didn't share with her.
Juan: I've already set that up. Now kindly get your tits out of my holoscreen.
