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
Diana is leaning over the desk, touching commands on the keyboard and looking at the holoscreen. Juan is seated to the side and behind, and is not looking at the holoscreen.
Diana: Hmmm... one of her hobbies is … building doll-houses?
Diana: There's a local club, something to check out.
Diana: But I already have a list of her previous addresses, her assurance policies, and credit rating.
Panel 2
Diana has turned around and is seated on the edge of the desk, facing Juan. Juan is looking away, annoyed with himself.
Juan: To think I put up with that horse's ass for so little compensation.
Diana: It's good to have confirmation, Juan.
Diana: But still … this was a 9-cycle investigation? I found out almost as much in four hours.
Panel 3
Juan and Diana.
Juan: There should be hundreds of pages of notes, photos, diagrams, recorded interviews, fecal samples ...
Diana: Say what?
Juan: Heh-heh. Joke. I'm saying a lengthy murder investigation should be a lot more exhaustive.
Panel 4
Diana stands up, preparing to go back to her desk, as Juan muses.
Juan: Paul Redoj was the original lead investigator on that case. He's a friend.
Juan: He quit after the first six months, retired under a bit of a cloud.
Diana: I'm sure he'll enjoy re-living old times with you.
