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
Another angle on Montoya, Diana, and the bodyguards.
Montoya: Dead? Oh Sweet Green, no!
Montoya: But … are you not aware of his condition?
Diana: The hospital won't talk to me! So that's what I'm here to find out.
Panel 2
The Snake is scandalazed, and begins leading the troupe out of the alcove.
Montoya: That is a brazen violation of the assignation!
Montoya: I will rectify this immediately, and then lodge a complaint with the house counsel.
Montoya: Come with me and we will visit Senhor Gómez.
Panel 3
Montoya, Diana, Areum and Wook are confronted by a pair of hospital orderlies in a doorway. One is an android, the other a beltape, and both are large. Montoya is flashing his card again.
Montoya: Good evening, sirs. I have an assignee to visit Senhor Juan Gómez.
Beltape orderly: Visiting hours are over. Come back tomorrow.
Montoya: By J. Kubric R.1844 paragraph 47b, hospitals in the Rodriguez Compact agree to allow close relatives to visit patients at virtually any time that suits them.
Panel 4
Same shot. The android has turned to speak to the beltape.
Montoya: And paragraph 217c stipulates that assignees have the same privileges as close relatives.
Android orderly: He is correct.
Beltape orderly: Very well, you may go in.
Areum (sotto voce): It is good to know the right codes.
