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 103
Panel 1Nicole leaping away from us across the room towards her handbag, forsaking the bedclothes.
Caption: To those who live in pressurized enclosures, getting 'vacuumed' means something less mundane than it would to any Terran, Loonie or Martian.
Panel 2
In a near-panic, Nicole is rummaging through her hand-bag, trying to find something in the bottom. In the background, we can see the door to her room.
Caption: To combat infestations of tiny parasites, habitation sections in space or on airless planetoids can periodically be relieved of their air. They are 'vacuumed.'
Panel 3
Nicole pulls her Bubb, in its little-ball form, triumphantly out of her bag just as the door to her room opens.
Caption: The process is generally more effective, particularly against bed-bugs, when done rapidly.
Panel 4
The Bubb expands to surround Nicole just as the rushing air carries her (and other objects) towards the door.
Caption: Usually, non-pest occupants are evacuated first.
