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
Nicole, Li-Liang, Murphy, Seamus exiting the Sandfort Science Museum
Li: Turns out I hadn't killed my dad, just severed his spinal cord. A few days in the medi-vat fixed that.
Li: But he was arrested, tried and convicted for murdering my mother.
Panel 2
Fashback scene – Jade looks back sadly as an adult leads her away from young Li in the foreground, who is held by a different adult.
Li: Since we had no family on-world Jade and I went into the colonial foster care system.
Li: Jade was quickly adopted by an executive family who moved back to Luna shortly afterward.
Li: I wouldn't see her again for 25 years.
Panel 3
Back to the present – Murphy is looking impatient, while Nicole looks like she wants to cry.
Murphy: I don't mean to sound insensitive, and I'm sorry you had a rough childhood ...
Murphy: … but I don't see how it relates to my question: How did you meet Seamus?
Panel 4
Nicole throws her arms around Li and buries her face in his neck.
Nicole: BAAAWWWW!!!! That's the saddest storyyyyy!
