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 1758
Panel 1Juan and Radoj.
Radoj: But I suppose you didn't come by to discuss my problems.
Juan: I want to talk about the last case you worked on. I hope that's not a problem.
Radoj: Well, that depends. We've been friends for a long time, Juan.
Panel 2
Juan and Radoj. Radoj is looking a bit nervous now.
Juan: You were my mentor for years. And we've had each others' backs for decades after that.
Radoj: That's right. But I need your solemn word that you will keep your visit here and everything I said confidential.
Juan: All off the record, of course!
Panel 3
Now Radoj is looking darkly serious.
Radoj: OK, first, just for the sake of my conscience … drop this case. I don't know how much you're being paid, but it's not worth it.
Radoj: The folks you'll be running up against are powerful, and clever, and they play for keeps.
Panel 4
Juan smiles wryly.
Juan: If you don't know how much I'm being paid, how do you know whether the risk is worth it?
Radoj: They managed to kill a 170-kilogram combat-gynoid AND make her back-up disappear. Do your own risk-reward assessment.
