Creepy moves in darkness dares discovery.
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 2007
Panel 1Bok in full panel again:
Bok: In some other legal systems, an outburst like that would get someone grabbed and thrown in a dank dungeon. Maybe executed.
Bok: Here, the event is simply holo-recorded and spliced in with other sequences then broadcast to make the perp look like a complete idiot.
Bok: Also, his written testimony is thrown out as unreliable.
Panel 2
Now Bok narrates from a cameo. In the main panel, Kimberly Madeiras answers questions.
Bok: The other witnesses called by the artbiters were generally more forthcoming:
Caption: Kimberly Madeiras, the doll-house maven:
Kimberly: Yes, Hayami did call it, 'Le Château Périlleux,' but we thought it was some sort of dark humor.
Kimberly: No, she didn't talk much about her work, just that it was in the security business.
Panel 3
Miller enters the panel, to question Kimberly
Miller: Didn't you find it odd that someone researching for a docu would offer, what, 250 Moebits for a doll-house?
Kimberly: Not a 'doll-house.' A miniature.
Kimberly: And yes, I did think it odd, but some people do take this hobby very seriously.
Panel 4
Miller presses on. Kimberly refuses to be intimidated.
Miller: That 'miniature' was obviously evidence in Hayami's murder! Why didn't you turn it over to investigators?
Kimberly: I offered it to Smith & Holder but they weren't interested. I sold it to the first 'investigator' who showed an interest.
Kimberly: Don't go blaming me for your clients' screw-ups.
