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
Panel is split into five sections, each containing a headshot of one of the Pillars. They are thought-sending to each other.
Alyss: Well, my friends, how should we deal with this doof?
Lorelei: Stall, see what he really has.
Enrique: Yes, stall.
Jorge: Tell him to fork off.
Kofi: Stall but don't concede anything.
Panel 2
Looking downward past Alyss toward Mordecai.
Alyss: Ambassador, the Intergalactic Council is of course free as anyone to set up an interest section in the city, at your own expense.
Alyss: You may call it an 'embassy' if you like but we can't extend any of the conventional privileges such as 'diplomatic immunity.' Your people will be subject to the same laws as anyone here.
Panel 3
Focus on Kang, Sheldon and Sergei.
Alyss (OP): If you have a more detailed proposal for communications transmit them to Sergio Cooper.
Alyss: He, General Min-Cheng and Sabio Rico will review them and get back to you
Panel 4
One last look at Mordecai, with some of the guards behind him. It's his turn to look stone-faced.
Alyss (OP): You are welcome to visit us again as you feel the need, Ambassador.
Alyss (OP): Although you might do it without the silly pomp and circumstance next time.
Alyss (OP): You attract undue attention.
