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. We Won.

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 1014

Panel 1
Brigid descends into a stark terrain.
Murphy (from ship): The surface is an uninteresting jumble of silicates and oxidized common metals.
Murphy: But inside, more useful metals and just enough water-ice to support a small installation.

Panel 2
A large door in the ground has opened, revealing an underground hangar. Brigid descends into it.
Murphy: Five years ago Seamus sent an automated fab kit with an expert-system.
Murphy: It built a shielded underground installation for us.
Panel 3
Inside the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: An expert-system? Not an A.I.?
Murphy: A sapient intelligence stuck out here for years on end?
Murphy: You're getting callous in your old age, Nicole.

Panel 4
Nicole and Murphy walk along an enclosed gangway that has extended out from a side of the hangar to the ship.
Nicole: It's freezing here!
Murphy: The pressure environment was kept chilled pending our arrival. It will get more comfortable soon.
