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 1862
Panel 1Cut to the landing bay in Alyss' mansion. Diana and Areum are walking up to Monty's Panther avatar. Areum looks uncertain.
Caption: And so, shortly:
Monty: You know, if you'd called in advance I could've had some of your favorite ice cream ready for you.
Diana: Well, my loss. Good seeing you anyway, ya old Snaggletooth.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Monty, Diana, Areum doing the customary greeting ritual.
Diana: All kidding aside, Areum is my bodyguard, who also insists on being my chauffeur.
Diana: Areum, this is also Monty, the house Cê-esse. One of many avatars you might find here.
Areum: Understood. You would logically have many different sorts of duties here, and the avatars are your customized tools.
Panel 3
Diana hugs the Panther as Areum looks on.
Diana: That's Areum's way of saying 'a pleasure to meet you.'
Monty: Such a charming companion. Asperger's is curable here, you know.
Diana: Speaking of cures, I need to talk to you about my headaches.
Panel 4
Diana and Monty walk away together, with Areum following close behind.
Monty: Still happening? When you use a hopper or Murphy gate?
Diana: Yeah. I'd hoped they'd go away, but they've gotten worse, I think.
Monty: That just won't do at all. Step into my parlor.
Diana: No spider jokes this time, please.
