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
Ashen-faced, Zander returns to his seat as his girlfriend Ginger glares angrily at him. In front of them, Diana is looking pained.
Arb Andrews (OP): I suppose Smith & Holder might file a suit against you, Senhor Metaxas. But Senhora Martelli, your part in this will be figured into your eventual decision.
Arb Sandini (OP): The bench now calls Sergio Fritsch as a witness.
Panel 2
Sergio Fritsch slouches before the arbiters.
Arb Andrews: Senhor Fritsch, you are an agent for Gianturco Guarantia, correct?
Fritsch: Uh, yeah, that's right.
Arb Andrews: According to your submitted statement, Senhora Martelli approached you at The Funky Elephant hooka club asking questions about Hayami Leigh, correct?
Fritsch: Sure.
Panel 3
On Sandini
Arb Sandini: You stated that she peppered you with questions about your colleagues and RPLD, correct?
Fritsch: Uh … that's right.
Sandini: We have a statement from one Dai-Tai Foster, that she was seated next to you.
Sandini: She said you gave Martelli two hits of a blend called 'Q'onos Q'ush' and as a result, and I quote, 'she was so drogado she could barely walk out of there on her own.'
Sandini: How do you reconcile those accounts? Shall we call her to testify?
Panel 4
Fritsch turns and storms out of the room.
Fritsch: Oh, FUCK this shit, man! And fuck ALL of you!
Andrews: I take it that's a 'no.'
Sandini: Either that or it's the most egotistical bribe I've ever heard.
