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
Alyss is massaging her temples with her fingers.
Alyss: All right, let's assume for a moment that someone has figured out how to work in those extra dimensions.
Alyss: How would something like this be used to circumvent an Oresme Shield?
Dominic: I suppose it could be used as a gateway, like one of our Junction Matrices.
Panel 2
Alyss: And how large would such a gateway need to be?
Dominic: That depends on what you'd want to send through it.
Dominic: If you want to send micro-missiles, the size of a golf ball. If you want to send warships, 100 kilometers across.
Panel 3
Diana, Alyss and Dominic
Alyss: Assume someone is sending a battalion of armored warriors, or ninjas, or mafiosi.
Dominic: In that case, anywhere from 30 to 100 meters, depending on whether it needs to function open or folded-up.
Panel 4
Diana: That still gives us Thousands of possible hiding places here.
Alyss: Is there some way to rig up a device that detects activity in one or more of those extra dimensions?
Dominic: You want me to invent a gadget that can detect the impossible? I could more easily do a belly-flop on a black hole.
