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
Nicole is still sitting on her table, her drink almost empty, and is startled when Danielle, one of the people in the group that had freaked her out previously, sticks her head tentatively into the frame (from the left).
Danielle: Um, Ms. Oresme? May I talk to you for just a minute?
Nicole: Huh? Ah, sure, have a seat.
Panel 2
Danielle takes an adjacent chair and faces Nicole woman-to-woman.
Danielle: I want to apologize for scaring you the other day. I really didn't mean to.
Nicole: Well, it wasn't just you. It was the whole group.
Panel 3
Nicole lays a hand on Danielle's forearm, looks her in the eye.
Nicole: I don't want to be mobbed, Danielle, but I don't want to be a hermit either.
Nicole: I just want to laugh and drink and have some fun.
Panel 4
Danielle and Nicole smiling slyly at each other, like a pair of mischievous college girls.
Danielle: There are five more lounges and nine on-going suite parties that I know of.
Nicole: Bar crawl?
Danielle: Bar crawl!
