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!
Transcript For Strip 148
Panel 1Nicole and Seamus are settling into their seats from the overhead hatch on the shuttle. We can see the Android driver in the pilot's seat. Seamus's eyes look strange, and Nicole is guiding him in.
Seamus: My sight's improving slightly, but not fast enough.
Seamus: Nicole, you're going to have to manage for me.
Nicole: Just a sec and you'll be strapped in.
Panel 2
Seamus has pulled his Screen, currently smart-phone sized, out of a coat pocket and is handing to Nicole.
Seamus: I meant, you'll have to manage Watson here.
Nicole: Your Screen? What's this for?
Seamus: Strap yourself in and I'll explain.
Panel 3
Nicole now has 'Watson' enlarged to about 10x15 cm and is touching its face with one finger. We can see Seamus in the background-right, with a hand over his eyes.
Seamus: Now, open the programs for 'RANGER,' 'EMP-F' and 'LSR-S' – their icons are in the lower right.
Nicole: And these are for what?
Panel 4
Close-up on Seamus – his hand is lowered, and we see his eyes are still afflicted.
Seamus: For getting us home alive.
