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 1988
Panel 1Diana, Alyss, Sergio and Montoya are walking out of the hearing room. (Well, Montoya is floating on his conveyance alongside the other two.)
Diana: So for all my injuries, I'm netting out 2500 moebits?
Montoya: Only because you agreed to cover Alyss' debts related to her assault on the DeCastries building.
Montoya: And, I don't expect them to appeal the ruling.
Panel 2
Closer 4-shot on Diana, Alyss, Sergio, and Montoya. Alyss is looking thoughtful.
Diana: Why not?
Montoya: The bad publicity from this case will pretty well ruin DeCastries here. I expect him and his associates will pull up stakes and find a friendlier location to start over.
Panel 3
Cut scene: Diana is sitting in a tall chair, under a microphone before her. The walls are covered with echo-deadening material.
Diana: And, well … he was right. DeCastries, Belbenoit, and their whole crew left the city for parts unknown.
Diana: I never did find out what happened to that Trudeau character. I hope he rots.
Bok (electronic, OP): OK, I think we can end on that note.
Panel 4
Swing around so we see Diana in rear ¾ and we can see Bolivar 'Bok' Clark through a transparency.
Diana: Yeah, Bok, that's good. My voice is feeling a bit strained now.
Bok: Yvonne's makes a turmeric-chocolate milk-shake that tastes great and will fix you right up. I'm buying, let's go.
