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
Lauren, Otto, and Diana at the table on the balcony.
Caption: After I shared a bit about my past, Lauren opened up, as I'd hoped.
Lauren: Yes well of course since I'm not merely the youngest, I'm the only one who inherited her status, and wasn't part of the founding …
Lauren: … I'm quite the junior 'Pillar' of this city, for whatever that's worth.
Panel 2
Lauren, Otto and Diana. Otto can't take his eyes off Diana, who is starting to take notice.
Lauren: But of course, you're not here to talk about me, you want to know about Hayami.
Lauren: She was pretty amazing. At once quite personable, but with a laser-beam focus on her job.
Panel 3
Flashback scene: Lauren is walking along a concourse with a sharp young man. Hayami is three steps behind. Lauren speaks from a cameo:
Lauren: I would take her with me on business trips – to Azuria, or Kinshu, or Ramonagar – and despite her size she was a marvel at how she could watch me like a hawk but not be noticed herself.
Panel 4
Flashback continues: Lauren is in bed with the sharp young man, making the beast with two backs. The room lighting is low but not too dark. Hayami is standing in a corner, literally blending in with the background via holography.
Caption (Lauren): 'She had this uncanny ability to blend into the background.
Caption: 'If she didn't want to be seen, you'd never see her.'
