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
Exterior view of the Argosy, with the pirate cruiser sidling in towards one of the spaceliner's airlocks.
Strider (from Argosy): Sir – this doesn't look like any of the corsairs on our scanners.
Santos: Not surprising. The corsairs were holograms.
Panel 2
On the command deck, Flaherty, Strider, Santos and Bartoli. Flaherty is petrified with fear.
Strider: Sir? But they showed as solid objects on our scanners.
Santos: No doubt. Holography gets better every year. Pretty soon you'll be able to fuck a hologram.
Panel 3
Santos turns to talk to Bartoli.
Santos: Bartoli, which airlock are they coming in to?
Bartoli: Assuming this is not just another fucking hologram, the number 3 airlock, sir.
Panel 4
Santos sits back in his chair.
Santos: Bartoli, you are developing a sense of humor after all.
Santos: Activate the combat-bots, send them to Airlock 3. And show it on the screen.
Santos: Now we sit back and watch the show.
