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
Eithne is kicking back in the ship's galley, feet propped up on the table, sipping on a drink. A holographic display floats above her feet. We see Hugo (as narrator) in a cameo.
Hugo (cameo): I persuaded Murphy that Eithne could do her task some place more comfortable for her than standing at her station in the control room.
Eithne (thought): Hmmm … nope, nope and nope.
Eithne: None of these supergiants are in the right spectral class.
Panel 2
Another angle on Eithne
Eithne (thought): Or perhaps I should say, the wrong spectral class.
Eithne: That leaves the double neutron stars and black holes …
Eithne: … and those require a different form of detection.
Panel 3
Yet another angle. Eithne's face expresses deep thought.
Eithne (thought): Well, fork me. Gravity-wave scan shows 4,231 wells in this sector deep enough they might be what I'm looking for.
Eithne: I can't look through them all in less than a day … unless I script a bot to do it.
Eithne: Heh. Sometimes I even impress myself.
