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
Alyss stands near Santiago, who is resting in a bed, apparently asleep.
Caption: Aboard the Eva Jeanne, near Zytemonde:
Alyss: My dear Santiago. You paid such a heavy price for my mistakes.
Alyss: Am I about to make another one?
Panel 2
Closer shot on Santiago and Alyss.
Alyss: I thought together we could lead a renaissance on Zytemonde.
Alyss: Bring your people back from the precipice of extinction.
Alyss: I thought that my five centuries' experience gave me the wisdom to anticipate the problems, and deal with them.
Panel 3
Close-up on Alyss. Behind her, we can see Bok peeking from behind a doorway.
Alyss: But I guess I'm not as smart as I thought.
Alyss: Maybe old Hugo was right. Maybe we need disasters like the 'Venus' worlds to remind us of the misery that top-down economies always produce.
Alyss: And to remind us of the iron fist inside collectivism's velvet glove.
