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
Wook, Diana, Dominic and Alyss are back in the lab with the CP model. Dominic is looking at the model intently, his 'eyes' telescoping out.
Caption: Dominic downed three shots of Glenlivet and we returned to Monty's lab without me killing him.
Dominic: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Dominic: And that monkey will be as surprised as I am.
Panel 2
Dominic touches something on the console and parts of the CP model glow.
Dominic: It uses holography to 'fake' two extra spatial dimensions.
Dominic: Do you notice that if you look at this thing for long enough, you get a headache?
Panel 3
Three-shot of Diana, Alyss and Dominic.
Diana: Not really.
Alyss: Actually yes, now that you mention it.
Dominic: Ah, the advantage of youthful neuro-plasticity.
Dominic: Your young brain can more easily adjust to the illusion.
Panel 4
Diana looks at Dominic darkly.
Caption: It occurred to me that my 'young brain' had still not adjusted to using Displacers. But instead I said:
Diana: But this is holographic fakery. Is there a way someone can actually build something in six-dimensional spacetime?
Dominic: Sure, all you need is a six-dimensional fabber. Such a silly question.
