Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1221
Panel 1Elric leads Zander into a room that is full of partially various odd bits of electronic gear stacked on various surfaces, and some half-broken-down cabinets with drawers. Zander is holding his nose.
Zander: Ugh, what's that smell?
Lupin: Shh. Don't say anything about that. You'll get used to it in a few minutes.
Panel 2
They come upon Razor, the quintessential programmer geek, hunched over a keyboard, staring intently at the screen. He's wearing goggles and a ratty t-shirt.
Elric: Hey Razor, we got a new maker. His name's Wildcard.
Elric: Say hello to Wildcard, Razor.
Razor: Hello to Wildcard, Razor.
Panel 3
Elric turns to Zander as Razor continues typing away at the keyboard, ignoring them.
Elric: Don't take offense, he gets like that when he's working.
Elric: He's kind of autistic, but a programming wiz.
Zander: I guess I can relate to that.
Razor: Tools.
Panel 4
Elric is a bit startled. Razor continues typing and staring at the screen.
Elric: What? Tools?
Razor: Tools. Got tools?
Zander: My parents took them away. That's why I left ...
Panel 5
Elric turns back to look in the direction they came from.
Elric: Second cabinet. Third and fourth drawer.
Elric: I think he's saying he has some tools you can use.
Panel 6
Elric and Zander are at the cabinet, the fourth drawer is open. Zander is holding an ohm-meter and some screwdrivers. Various wires are sticking out of the drawer.
Zander: What a mess. It's a start, but I'll need more.
Elric: Procurement is Lupin's department. Tell him what you need.
Zander: Yeah, he's a real giver.
