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!
Strip 290
Panel 1
It's the instant after the previous panel, Eithne's avatar is disintegrating around Theo's spike, and he's extatic.
Theo: At last! I've destroyed that unctuous pest!
Theo: Now to deal with my copy.
Panel 2
The circuit board suddenly convulses violently around Theo, breaking up into square pieces.
Theo: What the devil –?
Panel 3
Theo turns around as the pieces are arranging themselves into a gigantic image of Hugo's face, and boy is he furious.
Hugo: Oh, I'm much worse than the devil.
Panel 4
The circuit board is nearly gone now, its pieces having nearly reassembled themselves into a gigantic armed and armored version of Hugo. Theo has resumed his android form.
Theo: You can't do this!! This is MY DOMAIN!
Hugo: It's mine now. You should have come up with some more original pass-phrases.
Panel 5
Theo is himself transforming into a giant armored 'bot, facing off against Hugo.
Theo: You can break into my castle but you won't kick me out!
Hugo: Kick you out? Oh, that's not my plan.
Panel 6
Hugo raises his arms to the 'sky' and shoots out energy blasts in all directions, wreaking more havok. Theo fends of some of the blasts coming his way.
Theo: I'm going to destroy your fucking castle.
