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 1262
Panel 1Alyss is looking somewhat wistfully at the monitors showing the view of Zytemonde's star.
Bok: So, where do we go from here?
Zander: Yeah, we're fugitives on Zytemonde now.
Diana: Are you sure? That Corbot may not have been able to connect with the network.
Panel 2
Alyss turns to talk to the kids.
Alyss: Diana, how is it you fell down those steps?
Diana: I was … kicked down them.
Bok: By who?
Diana: I … I don't really know.
Panel 3
Alyss and the kids.
Alyss: Until we know more we should assume that whoever it was knows we were all there.
Zander: Which means, what? We can't ever go back?
Diana: Isn't that just peachy?
Panel 4
Bok and Alyss.
Bok: I have to go back! My father needs me! My aunt will drink herself into a coma!
Alyss: I know about Santiago, Bok. In a way, I owe him, too.
Bok: What do you mean?
Panel 5
Alyss and the kids
Alyss: I'll have to explain that one later.
Alyss: But if you want to return to Zytemonde and not get brain-wiped, some preparations are required.
Alyss: And to do that, we'll have to return to my homeworld for a bit.
Panel 6
The kids confer.
Bok: Well, I'm game. What do you guys think?
Zander: If I get to see more cool tech, I'm all for it.
Diana: I still don't trust her, but I don't see a better option.
Diana: Let's do this thing.
