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. We Won.

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 1832

Panel 1
Establishing shot of Juan's hospital room. Dominated by the 'bed' which is more like a sarcophagus through which his face protrudes, but the face is currently covered with a mask connected by tubes to machinery behind the head. Diana and the others look on, Diana and Wook look horrified, Areum is stoic as usual, the Snake is calm.
Diana: Total immersion life support?!
Diana: What in the flaming fuck did they do to him?
Agent: I have the report from the chief trauma-doc in my database.
Panel 2
Diana looks with increasing horror at Montoya as he recites from the report. We can see Wook standing behind Diana.
Montoya: Summary: Patient has 2,817 bone fractures from skull to feet, numerous hematomas and lacerations, brain and abdominal hemorrhaging, one collapsed lung, dislocations in both shoulders and hips, minimal cortical activity.
Montoya: Prescribed treatment: 20 days in total nanobiotic reconstruction, with another 90 days minimum physical therapy recommended.
Panel 3
Same shot, now Diana has tears streaming down her face, she is shaking, on the verge of collapse.
Montoya: There's an additional notation, with regard to mental health:
Montoya: While the body can be restored, a mind that has gone through the sort of trauma that produced these injuries, is not as easily healed.
Montoya: It is recommended that within 15 days after decanting ...
Panel 4
Diana collapses into a startled Wook's arms.
Snake: Senhora Martelli!
