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
Another angle on the three friends. Diana is groping at her midsection under the blanket.
Diana: Ha! You've seen me at my worst, so that's fair. Now, why can't I move my legs? Do I still have legs?
Diana: Oh good, but … I have a catheter?
Doctor Gorveth: (OP) DON'T MESS WiTH THAT!
Panel 2
Looking past Diana to see Doctor Gorveth coming through the doorway. Gorveth looks a lot like Nurse Ilenil, except a bit older and different colored hair.
Gorveth: Your 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae were severely damaged.
Gorveth: I had to paralyze you from the chest down so you won't move while the nanites reconstruct those bones.
Gorveth: Should only take another day.
Panel 3
Diana looks askance at the doctor.
Diana: Uh … Nurse Ilenil?
Gorveth: No, that's my daughter. I'm Doctor Gorveth and Alyss here likes to call me whenever she gets a hangnail.
Gorveth: Or at least, she used to.
Panel 4
Diana smiles as the two old friends trade bon-mots.
Alyss: You kept my old meat-bod patched up well enough. Except when my brain caught fire.
Gorveth: Too bad I wasn't on Zytemonde with you. I could have toasted some marshmallows.
Alyss: Well, now you get to practice your quackery on my grand-kids. So don't feel deprived.
