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
The tracer-bot hovers next to Diana as Monty looks on. A silhouette of a woman's head appears on the screen.
Voice from bot (electronic): Olá Diana, esto es … [we met at the Galleria.]
Diana: Uh, hi?
Voice: [I have considered your ideas, and wish to explore them, in person. Can we meet?]
Diana: Uh, sure.
Panel 2
The bot and Diana.
Voice: [Good. Meet me at Becker Farms, and come alone. This is very sensitive.]
Diana: Okay, but can you tell me how you managed to …
Voice: Vê-lo em seguida!
Bot: Ba-doop! Connection terminated.
Panel 3
Diana and Monty. She's pointing out her wrist-zinger.
Diana: That had to have been Drusilla. This could be a big break.
Monty: You're not actually going alone, are you?
Diana: Why not? I've got my zinger-thinger. And I'm highly vigilant.
Monty: You were cornered in a shopping mall by a courier.
Panel 4
Monty unexpectedly hugs Diana tightly.
Monty: Well, do be careful. I've come to like having you around.
Diana: {Hurk!}
Diana: If I can survive one of your hugs I can survive anything.
Panel 5
Diana is in her flyer, approaching Becker Farms, which is one of the giant spheres we've been seeing in the backgrounds.
Diana (thought): So this must be 'Becker Farms.'
Diana: I've seen several of these gargantuan spheres. I guess these are where Ozians' food comes from?
Panel 6
In the parking area, Diana is packing her flyer back into briefcase-mode when a different tracer-bot flies up to her.
Bot: Estás Diana Martelli?
Diana: Yes? Did, ah, Juliana send you?
Bot: Afirmativo. [Please follow me.]
