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 124
Panel 1Abdi leads Nicole into a large room full of pipes, cylindrical tanks, and scattered control panels. We see another man (his back to us) attending one of the control panels. Now Nichole looks more interested.
Abdi: This is our main engineering section – or at least, as much as one can enter without protective gear.
Panel 2
Abdi and Nicole approach the man at the control panel. The man turns to greet Nicole – he is lanky and dark-skinned, black hair.
Abdi: This is Jayesh Patel, our senior engineer.
Jayesh: What? Oh, one of our passengers. Hello there.
Panel 3
Nicole looks more interested in the machinery than in the men.
Nicole: Wow, is this a two-stage singularity drive? I didn't know any were still in service.
Jayesh: Yeah, well, I've modified things quite a bit. Hardly factory standard.
Panel 4
Jayesh grins as he makes a joke, but Abdi and Nicole roll their eyes.
Jayesh: And she can make the Kessel Run in Twelve Parsecs.
Nicole: Oh, geez, that joke was old when my boss was in diapers.
