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
External view, the Alien ship and Causa Sui are moving side-by-side, the icy planet receding into the background.
Captain Pbbbbbbbt (from ship): We have examined your translator data and believe we can adapt it to our B'fbrrrbt software.
Captain Pbbbbbbbt: However our Pfftbbrrtt cannot create the sounds in your Pbpblltt file.
Murphy: I'm sorry, can you repeat that with easier words?
Panel 2
On the bridge of the Alien ship, the Captain and some of his crew at various consoles.
CP: Our … mouths cannot make the sounds of your language.
Murphy (OP): I understand. We will use your language until we can … solve the problem.
CP: Yes. There is much to talk about.
Panel 3
Three-shot of Hugo, Murphy and Eithne in their control room. Hugo and Eithne exchange nervous glances as Murphy stays cool.
CP (OP): For one thing, you seem to have very powerful weapons, for a small ship.
Murphy: Because we had no idea what we would find out here.
Murphy: And, just like you, we want to stay alive.
