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
We are looking at Juan in his living room through a monitor screen. He's relaxing on the sofa, watching a 3V recording of a Sportsball event.
Caption: I learned what happened to Juan a bit later, and regretted my earlier thoughts.
Caption: The first bit was captured on his home security video:
Panel 2
Juan jumps to his feet as two men approach from behind the sofa. He starts to turn around.
Caption: I know what you're thinking. 'Who the heck records himself watching 3V at home?'
Panel 3
Before Juan can bring his zringer to bear, one of the intruders zaps him.
Caption: The answer is, 'someone whose work tends to make serious enemies.' Juan's problem may have been that he wasn't paranoid enough.
Panel 4
With Juan sprawled on the floor, the intruders have taken his place on the sofa and watch the Sportsball game in progress.
Caption: But those thugs … there's an ancient word from a dead language that describes them best: chutzpah.
