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 1826
Panel 1Lorelei and Diana stand in the front doorway of the mansion. Dong and nieces are waiting at the foot of the steps.
Caption: And so I reached a deal with Dong Gyeon-Hoon, packed my flyer and toothbrush, and:
Diana: Well, I guess this is it. Thanks for everything, Lorelei.
Lorelei: You haven't quite seen everything yet.
Diana: What do you mean?
Panel 2
Lorelei and Diana proceed down the walk to the landing pad, with the guards trailing.
Lorelei: How are you going to fit your new retinue in that little coupe of yours?
Diana: Um, my flyer can convert to a 4-seater, but it loses a lot of its speed and maneuverability.
Lorelei: Suppose I can offer you an alternative?
Panel 3
The five stand in the background gazing upon Diana's new ride, resting on the landing pad: A flying car with a definite retro-1950s styling, with seating for four.
Lorelei: From my collection. I was going to move her to storage, because my garage is full.
Diana: I … don't know what to say.
Panel 4
The crew are now standing around the car, checking it out.
Lorelei: Don't let the vintage style fool you. This honey can push 50 gravs for up to 6 hours, and is space-worthy for trips up to three days.
Lorelei: And while not transmorphic like your flyer, it does transform into several configurations.
Lorelei: You'll see.
