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. We Won.

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 1812

Panel 1
More of a frontal angle on Zander, talking happily. Lanky older teenager sprawls in his chair.

Caption: Zander Metaxas went through a growth spurt in the year since we came to this city.
Caption: In more ways than one. His talent for understanding complex systems has propelled him into a sort of elite among young hackers.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Diana gesturing as she 'speaks.'

Caption: Yes, I know the Q-links in our implants are supposed to be impervious to eaves-droppers.
Caption: Still, having grown up on Zytemonde has instilled a healthy … let's call it caution, when discussing legally questionable activities.
Caption: So, I used code-words and other round-abouts to get across what I needed Zander to do for me.
Panel 3
Looking past Diana at a holo-image on Zander in front of her. He's looking cocky.
Caption: In the first few cycles after we arrived, I could ask Zander to do most anything that had to do with technical stuff and he'd happily do it for me.
Caption: But now he's caught on to how things work in Bubbleopolis, and the value of his skill.
Panel 4
Otto comes up behind Diana as she is still engaged with Zander, startling her.
Caption: We were negotiating his fee, when ...
Otto: Senhora Martelli! They've found your boss, Sr. Gómez!
