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!
In biology class. The students are seated at tables. There's a row of counters along a far wall containing various types of gear. An android instructor (Ms. Tibia) is lecturing. Zander and Bok are in the back row.
Caption: Biology class:
Zander (whispers to Bok): Can you distract Ms. Tibia while I use the magnifier?
Bok (whispers back): Sure thing.
Panel 2
Looking past the backs of some students' heads at Ms. Tibia, who is lecturing.
Tibia: … and so we see the advantage of a planned ecology, as we have on Zytemode, as opposed to the chaotic system on Old Terra.
Tibia: Every function is fulfilled by organisms scientifically designed for their purpose.
Tibia: This makes for much simpler management. No struggle, no extinctions, no ...
Panel 3
Looking past Ms. Tibia, to where Bok has his hand raised.
Tibia: … yes, Mr. Clark?
Bok: Also no variety, no excitement, no fun?
Bok: Is 'simpler management' really worth living on a boring world?
