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
A business card materializes in the space between the snake and our heroes.
Snake: Peace, please! I'm not venomous.
Snake: At least, not in the conventional sense.
Snake: I am William I. Montoya, Attorney at Law
Panel 2
C/u of Diana looking thoughtfully at the business card.
Caption: I had described the principles of Bubbleopolis as 'Co-operative lawleness,' but they do have laws here, of a sort.
Caption: When people have disputes, they find an arbitrator or judge agreeable to all concerned who listens to each side and issues a judgement, which is then published.
Caption: Those published judgements form the basis of their law.
Caption: This had been explained to me early on, but I'd never met a lawyer before.
Panel 3
Montoya speaks to Diana as the bodyguards look on.
Montoya: My apologies, but you've been very difficult to reach these past few days.
Montoya: Have you not been getting my messages?
Diana: Ah, Montoya, yes. Well, I've been busy
Panel 4
Different angle on Montoya, Diana, and the bodyguards. Diana looks alarmed.
Montoya: There are certain powers-of-agency that Senhor Gómez assigned to you several cycles back.
Montoya: In the event he is … incapacitated, you are given full control of his business and personal property ...
Diana: You mean, he's DEAD?
