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!
Back to the balcony. Lauren, Otto, Diana
Diana: What were … do you know anything about Hayami's political inclinations?
Lauren: Political? What do you mean?
Diana: When Hayami turned against Alyss Roaz it was because Roaz was attempting to alter the political situation on Zytemonde.
Panel 2
Otto is refreshing Diana's drink, he smiles at her sweetly. She looks sideways at him.
Lauren: I … well, I don't recall discussing politics with her, except where it touched on the logistics of our travels.
Lauren: I don't think she was a member of any of the idio-beneficencias. She seemed uninterested in that sort of thing.
Panel 3
Otto has stepped back.
Lauren: The only regular beneficencias I remember Hayami speaking of were Kimberly's Doll House Club, the Sisters of Charity, and the Arti-Care Society.
Diana: The Sisters of Charity?
Lauren: A social/service group of celibate women once connected to the Roman Catholic Church but split off after the Calamities.
Panel 4
Otto keeps gazing at Diana, who is trying not to be distracted by him.
Diana: Celibate ...
Lauren: Well, she never mentioned any romantic interests. And she wasn't particularly 'feminine' in any sense other than her outward configuration.
Diana: What did they used to call them … nuns?
