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
Same three-shot, Charles points the holo-distruptor at Seamus and Hari. Seamus looks unchanged (he's still wearing the bathrobe), Hari holds his hands folded over the top of his head as he reacts with alarm.
Charles: One way to find out.
Hari: What? Wait!
Panel 2
Same shot, now Hari lets his hands drop and we see that he had a holographic toupee covering pattern baldness. Seamus suppresses a chuckle.
Charles: Uh ...
Hari: Okay, it's me, alright? Turn that thing off!
Panel 3
Three-shot of Charles, Hari and Seamus. Charles has put the holo-disrupter away and Hari has a full head of hair again.
Charles: I'm sorry, Mr. Copperton, but ...
Seamus: Why don't you get that fixed for real, Hari?
Hari: I've been busy -- say, did you feel a draft just now?
Panel 4
The three of them look at the table where the android had been laying, and all that's left are the opened restraints.
Charles: Damn! Where'd he go?
Seamus: Hari Copperton, meet Harry Houdini.
Hari: Who-dini?
