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!
Transcript For Strip 961
Panel 1Now Seamus stands at the head table. Antigony remains seated, Johanna remains standing. We see the back of Murphy, and a bit of Nicole as she lays hands on Murphy's arm and shoulder.
Seamus: Be still, my dear Murphy. I know what I'm doing.
Seamus: Yes, I was Theophilus Farnsworth. And Benedito Fernandes, and Stanley Freeman.
Panel 2
Seamus from behind, speaking to the assembly who listen raptly.
Seamus: At 533 Terran years, I am also the oldest living person.
Seamus: And 462 years ago, in my madness, I unleashed an ungodly Hell on humankind.
Seamus: An act for which I've been quite rightly despised, and condemned.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Seamus, looking tired.
Seamus: In the centuries since I have worked to the best of my abilities to make amends.
Seamus: I have given mankind technologies to help rebuild Terra and colonize new worlds.
Seamus: I have helped to liberate Luna, and the Belt, and establish the L-5 Station as a free and thriving space-city.
Panel 4
Seamus looks over at Johanna, who only stares back at him.
Seamus: But I suppose that despite all my works, I must at last face my victims – or at least their descendants and heirs.
Seamus: For considering what I've done, and why, I cannot gainsay anyone else's demand for retribution.
