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 1976
Strip 243Panel 1
Alyss is waving good-bye to Diana as she heads towards the door. Gorveth is already gone, and Otto remains, smiling sweetly.
Caption: The doctor checked my vitals and decided I was healing well enough, so she left.
Caption: Then Alyss, who was now satisfied that I'd be okay, took her leave.
Caption: This left me with Otto.
Panel 2
Flashback-shot, Otto is creeping around outside the shop where Carmen is leading Diana and Wook.
Caption: So it was up to Otto to explain what had happened.
Caption: Turned out he was still stalking me, and saw Carmen lead me and Wook into that boutique.
Caption: If Wook noticed him, she didn't say anything.
Panel 3
Medium shot of Otto wandering through those back-room corridors.
Caption: When Carmen was 'captured,' he tried to follow us into the back-room area but got lost in the maze of corridors.
Caption: He said he wandered around for an hour, but I know it couldn't have been more than 20 minutes or so ...
Panel 4
Another shot of Otto peering around a corner, and recoiling in horror to the violence he's witnessing. A bit of blood spatter in the air.
Caption: … because he witnessed my final confrontation with Pauline Kempadoo.
Kempadoo (OP): SHRIEEEEEEEK!!!
SFX: ZZZEEEROWWW
Caption: I regret that he saw that.
