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
Looking ast Nicole at Seamus, who is pointing to his right eye.
Seamus: Do you remember how we acquired the data we needed at Staisiún Étaín, via our occular implants?
Nicole: Yeah, that's kind of hard to forget.
Panel 2
Close-up on Seamus, still pointing at his right eye.
Seamus: These Farraday crowns prevent me from sending by radio-link you the equations you need to have, but I can still send to your retinal implant via the micro-laser I have implanted in my right eye.
Seamus: It's puny compared with the interface at Étaín, but enough to send this little bit of data.
Seamus: So, come closer please.
Panel 3
Nicole moves to less than a meter from Seamus' face. They stare directly at one anothers' eyes. We see a tiny beam flash from Seamus' right eye to Nicole's left eye.
Seamus: That's it, now hold still a second …
SFX: blip!
Panel 4
Nicole rocks back on her ankles, looking slightly dazed and slightly amazed.
Nicole: Ok, so, uh … huh.
Nicole (small font): oh, wow
