Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2062
Panel 1Hugo and Murphy are walking past Kofi and Lorelei, towards Alyss.
Kofi: So – assuming we work with you -- what next? Do we let our brain trust in on it?
Hugo: There's an old saying: 'Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.'
Lorelei: Well, there are seven of us, now.
Panel 2
Hugo and Murphy are now flanking Alyss.
Hugo: We needn't take that aphorism quite so literally.
Alyss: For now, at least, we keep Hugo and Murphy's involvement to ourselves.
Murphy: To be revealed strictly on a need-to-know basis.
Panel 3
Overhead view of all seven around the table.
Kofi: You know, I've always been wary of 'state secrets.'
Lorelei: We're not really a 'state,' you know. More like a Chamber of Commerce.
Jorge: We don't even own the majority of the spheres anymore.
Enrique: Perhaps we should form a committee including the other sphere owners?
Panel 4
Hugo leans in to speak directly to Alyss as the others continue chattering. Alyss is face-palming.
Kofi: You mean like a House of Lords? Bit your tongue.
Enrique: We could make it an ad-hoc committee, with a prior agreement to disband when the war is over.
Hugo (softly) : You know how to contact us. Let us know when you figure out who's in charge here.
