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
Back on Nyumbani, the group is seated around a dining table having breakfast together. Melissa is refreshing drinks.
Caption: Breakfast-time at the farm on Nyumbani:
Albert: I think I can finish re-wiring the pasture fence today.
Yolanda: Good. We can't afford to lose any more thoats.
Sandra: I wish they hadn't put predator animals on this world.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Sandra and Tom, seated together.
Tom: They are needed for ecological balance.
Tom: They also keep competing predators – that's us – on our toes.
Sandra: Speak for yourself. I'm vegan.
Panel 3
Yolanda points at Sandra's plate and laughs. Melissa, standing behind Yolanda, suddenly looks like she's been poked.
Yolanda: Vegan? When you drink thoat's milk and eat turducken eggs?
Sandra: I only eat the whites. No one's perfect, and I'm not the one who forbade the growing of chimera fruits.
Panel 4
Yolanda and Albert turn their attention to Melissa, who looks very sad, as she puts the pitcher she's carrying on the table.
Melissa: Uh, hey guys, I'm sorry ...
Melissa: … but I have to go, now.
