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. We Won.

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 1997

Panel 1
Again Bok narrates from a cameo. Now William I. Montoya, the Víbora-Humana ('human viper') we've met already
Bok: Advogado for Roaz and company was William I. Montoya, who had once worked for Smith & Holder, but departed that company along with half of its employees, very recently.
Montoya: The assault on De Castries' building was a drastic measure undertaken to save a life imperiled, and possibly thousands more lives in the near future.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Diana and Alyss. Diana is looks stressed by her memories, as Alyss lays a reassuring hand on her friend's arm.
Montoya (OP): The record is clear, that young Diana Martelli was kidnapped from a shopping mall owned by de Castries, where she was lured by an employee of Gianturco Guarantia.
Montoya: And she was taken by members of the Républicans Pour La Démocracie to a dark cell where she was tortured and then left hanging by her wrists without food or water for more than two days.
Panel 3
Now we see de Castries and his crew behind Montoya. De Castries shouts angrily.
Montoya: But more to the point, de Castries was working together with RPLD on a plot to circumvent the Oresme shield and allow a hostile military force to enter and capture the city for the Intergalactic Hegemon.
De Castries: That's a lie! You have no evidence for that!
Panel 4
The Arbiters at their bench. Andrews smiles indulgently, Santini looks gruff, Reinhold looks mildly annoyed.
Andrews: Senhor de Castries, I'm afraid we have to insist on an orderly proceeding.
Andrews: So, any further outbursts like that will result in a fine of 1 moebit payable to the bench.
Santini: Or keep going. I'd like to buy a new anysuit.
Reinhold: Yeah, it's been years since I've had a real vacation.
