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
In the left foreground, one of the techs is bending over some device. In the background we see Nicole and Seamus standing beyond the glass.
Seamus: I've only known her a few days, and already I owe my life to her.
Nichole: Yeah, I saw the security videos, too ...
Panel 2
Flashback to a security-cam POV image of Mr. Graves dragging the beaten Murphy along a corridor.
Caption (Nicole): 'The actual fight was just a blur, but we saw that stinkfoot dragging her broken body to the airlock clear enough.'
Nicole: 'And after she tossed him, dragged herself on her elbows back to your pod to reverse the disconnect commands.'
Panel 3
Different-angle two-shot of Seamus and Nicole -- Nicole is looking up at Seamus who simply gazes intently through the glass.
Nicole: But you've stood right well by her.
Nicole: You've closely reviewed her treatment every step of the way.
Nicole: Not to mention, laid out kilograms of aurum for all the upgrades.
Panel 4
Nicole smiles sideways at Seamus while stretching absentmindedly as they talk.
Nicole: If I didn't know better, I'd say you were getting sweet on her.
Seamus: Just showing my appreciation for her service, I assure you.
