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 1879
Panel 1Exterior of the Super-flyer in flight, fills most of the panel
Caption: It seemed Belbenoit was some kind of rival, and a particularly dangerous one.
Caption: Something like that should have come up in the original Smith & Holder investigation.
Caption: This person would be a prime suspect in a murder.
Panel 2
Inside the flyer cabin, Diana and Areum.
Caption: We headed back to … I hated to call it 'home' but that's what it was at that point.
Caption: It was time for Areum to go off-shift and Wook to take her place.
Caption: Now I had to consider the wisdom of going around the city with a butt-hurt bodyguard.
Panel 3
Back at the apartment, Diana and Areum are walking into the living room. Wook is there, suited-up for work but not looking real enthusiastic.
Diana: Er, hi Wook. I think I'm going to be spending the rest of the day doing some research in the Redes. So, you get an easy shift, ok?
Wook: Whatever.
Diana (thought): Yikes.
Panel 4
Diana in cyberspace with Zander. She's not looking happy.
Caption: But before diving into the Redes I decided to check in with Zander:
Zander: Yeah, I got some really hot stuff for you, but …
Zander: I'd really feel better telling you in person. Can you come over?
Diana (thought): Fuck.
