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
Seamus, Moe, Nicole and Murphy are in a break area. Some padded bench seats, a food and drink dispenser. Moe is handing Nicole a beverage as Seamus gets his own drink. Murphy stands by.
Caption: Finally:
Moe: Task completed with 15 minutes to spare!
Moe: You do good work.
Nicole: Thanks.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Murphy. Nicole looks at her drink pensively. Murphy just looks pensive.
Nicole: Although I'm not sure how happy I am to have been helpful here.
Nicole: My work here is going into a war effort, however well-intended. Blood will be on my hands.
Panel 3
Nicole is not happy with Murphy's remark.
Murphy: But you have already taken lives, have you not?
Nicole: Those were pure kill-or-be-killed situations which I did not seek out, dammit.
Nicole: I don't go looking for trouble.
Panel 4
Moe sits down on the bench next to Nicole.
Moe: I have no passion for killing, either. At heart I'm a builder, not a destroyer.
Moe: If only you could understand what it is we're fighting to end.
Moe: Let me tell you a story ...
