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
High-angle view of everyone in the room -- the orderlies Mark and Ian, Dr. Sharkisian, the PA, and the two corpses on the blood-drenched floor. Sharkisian speaks to the two orderlies.
Sharkisian: Yes, gentlemen, while you were out getting pizza, these three Terries forced their way in and nearly killed one of our patients.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Sharkisian -- as she pokes at her left wrist with her right index finger, her mask disappears, revealing her face.
Sharkisian: Fortunately, rather than going home this evening I stayed late in my office to catch up on financials. When the alarm went off, I was able to get here in time to avert disaster.
Panel 3
Looking past Sharkisian at the Huey and Dewey, who are looking embarrassed.
Sharkisian: Huey, get this one into the autodoc before he bleeds to death. Keep him sedated.
Sharkisian: Dewey, go find Luther, get a mop, and clean up this room.
Panel 4
Sharkisian leans wearily against a wall. In the background, the PA looks up at the doctor from her console.
Sharkisian: At least the worst is over ...
PA: Uh, maybe not, doctor. Look at these readouts.
