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
Carmine looks amused. Diana looks uncomfortable.
Carmine: What, are you on some kind of deadline?
Caption: I was thinking about the threat posed by the Château Périlleux but I didn't want to mention that.
Diana: What? Oh, no, it's just that I want to get this project over with. It's disrupted my life and I would like some normalcy, please.
Panel 2
Carmine looks at Diana levelly.
Carmine: Yes, I've heard about your issues with Smith & Holder. And more than what was revealed on that silly-assed Tschaikowski holostream.
Diana: Care to share some of that?
Carmine: Well, Smith & Holder is going through some internal turmoil over this whole affair.
Panel 3
Diana lights up.
Diana: What! Over my confrontation with Cooper?
Carmine: The whole situation, starting with your boss getting kidnapped, your getting assaulted by that agent, going into hiding. There was a failure on several levels.
Diana: That's putting it mildly.
Panel 4
Carmine and Diana, looking relaxed in one another's company.
Carmine: And, very embarrassing for Sergio Cooper. It's his department.
Diana: I don't feel easy being a source of embarrassment for Chief Inspector Cooper.
Carmine: The way I saw you face him down the other day, I'd say he has more to fear from you.
