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 1794
Panel 1Diana is in a hotel room, asleep in bed. Her anysuit is draped over a chair near the bed.
Caption: I wasn't thinking about Juan when I finally got to a hotel room. I just crashed.
Caption: I slept for half a day – a solid 10 hours, I think.
Panel 2
Diana is leaning over the washroom link, looking at herself in the mirror. Wearing panties only. Her hair is a mess but she no longer has that beat-to-death look in her eyes. To one side of the sink, a panel in the wall has opened revealing a collection of bottles, tubes, toothbrushes and make-up gear.
Caption: The sleep did me good, but I needed personal-care products. Fortunately this hotel dispensed what I required directly in the room smartwaiter.
Caption: The room rate was reasonable, too. I'll need to remember that place next time I go on the lam.
Panel 3
Diana is putting on her anysuit. We can see her coat laid across the bed.
Caption: Part of me wanted just take my flyer and the money I had and just disappear. It wouldn't have been difficult.
Caption: But I had accepted the job and I didn't want to be a cut-and-runner.
Panel 4
Diana, with her flyer-case, is walking out the entrance to the hotel. (Important: she's wearing the same necklace with a large central gem we saw her wearing in strips 59 and 60.)
Caption: I contacted Smith & Holder and told them about my apartment being raided. I didn't mention Gyeon-Hoon or Areum.
Caption: That way while they were looking for me there I'd head over to Juan's office and see if I could find some way to reach him.
