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!
Panel 1
In a lounge, Zander and Elric are sitting at a table. Zander has some tools out and is working on Elric's hand. Lupin is lounging on a sofa nearby.
Elric: It still doesn't grip as strongly as I want it to.
Zander: I can improve that a bit with some more adjustments.
Zander: This pause before we go planetside has at least one benefit.
Panel 2
Zander is holding up his artificial hand, making a fist around the index finger of his other hand.
Elric: That's a bit better. It's too bad I can't really feel through this thing.
Zander: I'm afraid that sort of haptic feedback is a bit beyond my skill.
Elric: You still did a great job, considering.
Panel 3
Zander and Elric turn to look at Lupin, who is speaking.
Lupin: What you need is a real hand. The fleshy kind.
Elric: Yeah, like I could grow a new hand.
Zander: Maybe you can, in Oz.
Panel 4
Elric turns in surprise towards Zander.
Elric: Are you serious?
Zander: Completely. I've been there a bit longer, and I've seen some pretty amazing things.
Zander: These people live for centuries. There seems to be little that's beyond them.
Panel 5
Different angle on the trio.
Lupin: Too bad Roaz didn't offer to grow you a new hand while we were in Oz.
Zander: We only had a couple of days there. I have no idea how long it would take to grow a new hand.
Zander: But I'm sure you can get that done when we return.
Panel 6
Yet another angle.
Lupin: That's assuming we do return.
Lupin: Roaz was not all that reassuring that we won't fail here.
Zander: No, she wasn't. But at least she was honest.
Lupin: I just hope she's capable.
