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 1973
Panel 1Blurred images fading into a black void: Alyss, 'Nurse Ilenil,' Dong Gyeon-Hoon, all looking at her with worried expressions.
Caption: After that I can only remember a few fragments of getting released, quick-washed, and transported in a medicama.
Panel 2
Cut to: Diana's POV from her recovery bed. Past her blanket-covered feet she can see Alyss in one corner and Otto in the next. Otto is asleep but Alyss notices her.
Caption: Eventually the dark clouds parted and ...
Alyss: Querida. You're back with us at last?
Panel 3
Switch view to show Diana in her recovery bed. She has a few wires and tubes attached to gadgets on a shelf above and behind her head. Alyss has moved to stand beside her.
Diana: It appears that way, unless the after-life is just a copy of life or something.
Alyss: We were pleased to find that you suffered no brain damage.
Alyss: But we can always double-check.
Panel 4
Widen view a bit to show Otto now standing next to Alyss, rubbing some sleep out of his eye.
Diana: Maybe you should. I'm seeing a cherub standing next to you.
Alyss: Oh yeah. Your number-one stalker. Can't get rid of him.
Otto: You … ah, clean up very nicely, Diana.
