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 1806
Panel 1Medium close-up of Diana in her flyer. We might see part of a Junction Matrix in the background.
Caption: My first thought had been to run back to Alyss Roaz' home.
Caption: She has a top-notch auto-doc, and the place is well-defended.
Caption: Then I remembered who would be defending the perimeter.
Panel 2
Exterior view of Diana's flyer approaching the mansion of Lorelei Wodenstar DeClayre.
Caption: Also, running to Roaz would not only be obvious, but undignified.
Caption: So, I made for Lorelei DeClayre's mansion.
Caption: She was not an S&H client, and I was sure no one would expect me to go there.
Panel 3
Inside the flyer, Diana is speaking with an image of DeClayre in a pop-up holoscreen. Lorelei looks alarmed.
Caption: At the last possible minute, I called ahead and briefly explained my situation.
Caption: Lorelei was alarmed, and sympathetic, and cleared me for landing on her aeropad.
Panel 4
The flyer is landed on the pad, looking towards the mansion, we see a large ground-vehicle speeding down the pathway to meet Diana.
Caption: I had worried I would have to take another long walk up the pathway to the house.
Caption: But Lorelei was not one to stint on hospitality.
