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
Back to the conference room on the planet Bbrrrbtpff: In a cameo, present-time Murphy narrates. Show all three of our protagonists, plus PP, the aide, and the two security dudes standing at attention behind PP.
Murphy (cameo): After a bit more small-talk, the chief administrator got to the point:
Pfbbbtt-pfft: We are of course very interested in your star-drive technology ...
Panel 2
Two-shot of PP and Murphy.
PP: Captain Pbbbbbbbt also reported that we have you to thank for moving that jettisoned antimatter-core a safe distance away before it exploded.
Murphy: Ahh … with a 'hopper' much like the one we used to transport to your planet.
Murphy: Our hoppers can travel 'short' distances almost instantaneously, and serve us the way your trans-mats serve you.
Panel 3A
Show a hopper materializing around the ejected antimatter-core. We can see a bit of the planet in the background.
Caption (Murphy): 'Working quickly, I programmed the hopper to materialize around the ejected antimatter container …
Panel 3B
The now-solid hopper's doors open and the container is ejected along with the air from inside. (No planet this time.)
Caption (Murphy): 'Then moved it several million kilometers away before ejecting the container again, and returning to our ship before the container exploded.'
