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
Otto is testifying, behind him Diana and Alyss are watching him intently.
Arb Sandini: (OP) And then you followed them into the Boutique Alsace. What happened there?
Otto: They were talking, and suddenly some guys grabbed Raynal and dragged her through a back door.
Otto: Wook tried to stop her, but Diana followed them into the back ...
Panel 2
Flashback scene, Otto wandering through the dark corridors.
Caption (Otto): 'I tried to follow them, but it was a maze of stock-rooms and passageways!
Otto: 'I didn't know which way they went, so I wandered around, hoping I'd see or hear something of them.'
Panel 3
Otto pauses at an intersection as Wook barrels past.
Otto: 'Then I saw Wook zoom past at a dead run, and figured she must've known where to go.
Otto: 'So I tried to follow her, too, but man, she was incredibly swift on her feet.
Otto: 'A few minutes later I heard zinger fire, and feared the worst.'
Panel 4
Otto claps his hands to his ears as a sonic blast shakes the walls. Sandini and Otto speak from a opposing cameos.
Otto: Then I heard the sonic grenade go off. I figured it was the one Diana told me she had with her.
Sandini: How did you know it was a sonic grenade?
Otto: I've heard one before, sir. It's a sound you don't ever forget.
