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
Three-shot of Diana and the bodyguards flanking her as they walk down the hallway.
Wook: What did he say?
Diana: 'Older,' 'Belbenoit,' and 'Château Périlleux.'
Areum: 'Castle Perilous' in French.
Diana: Oui.
Panel 2
They approach a pair of displacement hoppers.
Diana: Uh … can't we take the grav-lifts back down instead?
Areum: The hoppers are safer, but I understand your issue with headaches.
Diana: My headaches are fine, the issue is the hoppers.
Panel 3
Inside a 'grav-lift' which is an open shaft within which gravity fields substitute for elevator cars. The trio is gliding down. Wook is enjoying herself. Areum is refusing to enjoy herself.
Wook: Wheeee! I love these lifts! I wish we had one in our building.
Diana (to Areum): I thought your uncle was meeting us here?
Areum: He messaged me. He's waiting in the lobby.
Panel 4
In the lobby, Dong Gyeon-Hoon greets Diana and the bodyguards. He's carrying a large satchel.
Dong: I would have met you upstairs but the palace guards were uncooperative.
Diana: You missed the snake vs. badger fight. What's in the satchel?
Dong: The means for greater enlightenment, naturally.
