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
In the lounge, Nicole has moved to a sofa section, and is surrounded by young adults, mostly male. Two of the males are dressed like Barsoomian warriors, the rest are in contemporary attire. They are all drinking, and one of the males is regaling the group with a joke.
Male 1: … and the Beltape replied, 'If ha push tat nozzle any deeper yar gonna find anotter met'ane source!'
Group: (laughter)
Panel 2
Another fellow begins to tell another story but is interrupted by one of the females, pointing out of panel.
Male 2: So did you hear the one about …
Female 1: Hey, look!
Panel 3
Looking at a video screen hung high in a corner. It's showing an advertisement for the Guzmán Burro sport-utility space-hopper. Featuring a cameo shot of Nicole, who is endorsing the product. We see some of the backs of the sofa gang's heads, including Nicole's.
Male 3: Oh, for real?
Panel 4
The sofa gang, now star-struck, crowds in on Nicole like zombies wanting to eat her brain. Nicole, feeling as trapped as she looks, grins nervously.
Male 2: You're the Nicole Oresme, the famous girl-Sun-Shooter?
Female 2: That is so exciting!
Male 3: Can I get your autograph?
Male 4: Will you have my baby?
Nicole: Err ...
