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
Re-establishing shot of the upper-level balcony, with Lauren, Diana and Otto.
Diana: So, did this all-business, asexual gynoid have any sort of social life?
Lauren: None … well, I take that back. There was an android who called on her here a few times.
Caption: An android? Can you describe him?
Panel 2
Flash-back scene showing Hayami standing in a gateway, talking to the android. It has a masculine aspect but it's not particularly sexy. Lauren again speaks from a cameo.
Lauren: He was … barely a 'he,' really. A utilitarian design, made for industrial work, perhaps.
Lauren: He only came around a half dozen times. Sometimes they just had a brief conversation at the estate, but on two occasions she went off with him.
Panel 3
Back to the present, Lauren and Diana.
Diana: Did she never tell you who he was?
Lauren: Just 'a friend,' she said. I didn't choose to pry.
Diana: Without a name or image I don't have any way to find him.
Panel 4
Lauren laughs. Diana is getting really irritated by Otto's fixation on her.
Lauren: Oh, I have security recordings of every visitor. I'll have the relevant segments sent to you.
Diana: So we're being recorded now?
Lauren: Of course. Someone in my position can't be too careful, you know.
