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 1307
Panel 1Establishing shot of Drusilla and Max in their vid studio.
Drusilla: So today we have reached a turning point in the Kornbluth & Company saga.
Max: Kornbluth has cooperated with our investigators, although not by opening their books as we asked ...
Panel 2
Two-shot of Drusilla and Max.
Drusilla: … instead Kornbluth himself invited us to tour the testing facilities ourselves.
Max: I wasn't able to attend, but I understand it was quite an eye-opener, eh, Dru?
Drusilla: You can say that again, Max.
Panel 3
Video clip of Drusilla being shown around an industrial plant by Kornbluth, a nerdy-looking fellow.
Drusilla (voice-over): He showed us the process by which werpolitzi are tested, and records of the results showing no change in quality of the materials.
Drusilla: What's more, an anonymous source has forwarded records of secret communiques among the six largest buyers ...
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Drusilla.
Drusilla: Indicating they had been in collusion, in a plot to degrade the reputation of the four major werpolitzi suppliers!
Drusilla: Some are speculating that these buyers wanted to force the suppliers to re-negotiate their contracts to get lower prices for their goods.
Drusilla: Kornbluth and Company were an obstacle to that plan, which is why the same six schemers launched a smear campaign against Kornbluth!
Panel 5
Diana sits looking at the monitor screen, her arms crossed.
Diana (thought): A smear campaign you clowns happily went along with, at least at first.
Diana: I wonder if all their reporting is like this?
Diana: These stories were from 10 days ago. I wonder what they're up to currently?
Panel 6
Looking over Diana's shoulder at the monitor, which is showing a news page with a headline, 'Drusilla and Max Program Suspended' and underneath, 'Producers ponder how to proceed after the death of Max Marrón.' Include a stock photo of Max and a grieving Drusilla. Some body copy which is illegible.
Diana: Puta merda!
