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
Jerome Falstaff is delivering some news from his Noticías Inacreditável set.
Jerome: This just in:
Jerome: We have received a communique from a group calling itself ̏Society For Justice˝ claiming responsibility for the devastating attack on 11 Septiary.
Panel 2
Bok is delivering some news from his own Las Noticías Indelicadas set. There's a date stamp in the lower corner
Bok: The communique was sent to the Five Pillars and the city's four largest assurance agencies.
Bok: Of course, many such messages from a variety of sources have poured in, nearly all of which are hoaxes, pranks, and general trolling.
Date Stamp: 19.07.1076
Panel 3
Back to Jerome, medium shot
Jerome: But this one is reportedly being taken seriously, coming in through undisclosed diplomatic channels.
Jerome: The SFJ statement declares the attack was a response to 'capitalist exploitation by unaccountable corporations based in Novo Paolo.' (By which they mean, Bubbleopolis.)
Panel 4
Back to Bok, medium shot
Bok: The message is puzzling, inasmuch as we don't have 'corporations' in Bubbleopolis, although we do have some joint-stock companies. We are all accountable for our actions.
Bok: The SFJ statement demands immediate cessation of this 'exploitation,' although it was not made clear exactly what that means, either.
