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. We Won.

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 1352

Panel 1
Alyss is holding an object the size of a baseball, focusing her eyes on it.
Lupin: What the heck is that?
Alyss: A high-thermal grenade. Generates ten gigajoules of heat energy for one second.
Elric: Ten giga-whats?
Panel 2A
Alyss tosses the grenade into the air.
Alyss: Not watts, joules.
Alyss: I'm sending this back to the place we just left.
Panel 2B
The grenade 'foomps' away.
SFX: FOOMP!
Alyss: In three seconds everything in that room will be molten slag.
Panel 3
The team gathers around Alyss, their backs to her and each other. Alyss has expanded her shield.
Alyss: Alright, team, assume the 'X' formation, now!
Alyss: I've got a solid fix on where the rest of the captives are being held, and we're going straight there.
Panel 4
The team pops into a large room, all their shields expanded. Behind them are a several score young-ish Zytemondian humans of various types, all startled by the rescue team's arrival.
SFX: POP!
Alyss: Scan for bots and fire at will.
Panel 5
Lupin fires in one direction, OP. Alyss is holding another device in the direction of the captives.
SFX: ZIING!
Lupin: Just one guard.
Alyss: As I'd expected, our earlier actions drew all the others away.
Alyss: Now, let's hope this works.
Panel 6
Same shot, now we only see dotted outlines of all the humans in the room.
Sargon: You mean you haven't tested …
SFX (very large): FOOMP!!!
