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 1800
Panel 1Kempadoo uses her height advantage over Diana to intimidate.
Kempadoo: You waited for 15 hours to report your apartment break-in and have been avoiding us that whole time.
Kempadoo: WHY?
Diana: Uh … because … because ...
Panel 2
Diana finds her courage, despite herself. She stands straight, arms crossed. Agents Tieman and Verdana look taken aback, but Kempadoo just looks angrier.
Diana: Because I don't trust you people!
Kempadoo: Oh, you don't? Why not? We're your assurance agency, too.
Panel 3
Diana is trying to choose her words carefully. Kempadoo glowers at her.
Diana: Because … it's connected to a confidential investigation we're doing.
Diana: And I'm pretty sure our contract with you guys does not require us to divulge confidential information related to our business.
Kempadoo: Perhaps it doesn't.
Panel 4
Kempadoo grabs Diana's right wrist (her zringer hand, holding it aloft). Agents Tieman and Verdana are even more taken aback.
Diana: HEY!
Kempadoo: But I will find out what I need to know and if that violates the contract you can take me to arbitration later.
