Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 1044
Panel 1Nicole is laying on an examination table, nude but covered by a sheet. Murphy is turning away from her, holding a small device.
Caption: Two hours later:
Murphy: Okay, we're done. You can put your anysuit back on.
Nicole: That was the most … personal physical I've ever had to endure.
Panel 2
Murphy has moved over to a counter where she's inserting the small device into a larger device on the counter. Nicole is sitting up now, but still covering her front with the sheet.
Murphy: The normal phys-scan is not precise enough for our purposes here.
Nicole: For whose purpose? PAP smears went out with pocket computers.
Panel 3
Murphy turns to regard Nicole, as Nicole is donning her Anysuit.
Murphy: Not really a PAP smear, but I suppose the experience is similar.
Murphy: You should let me know if anything goes awry with your next menstrual cycle.
Nicole: Trust me, you'll be the first to know.
Panel 4
Murphy is walking out the door. Nicole is zipping up her suit.
Nicole: Where are you going now?
Murphy: Now I'm going to examine our star-boat, give it as thorough an examination as I just gave you.
Murphy: As soon as I can figure out how to do a PAP smear on it.
