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 2096
Panel 1External view of Causa Sui (remember that one?) cruising through space, with the 'Snake-Eyes' double-black-hole in the background
Caption: The Causa Sui, accelerating away from 'Snake-Eyes,' the double-black-hole.
Hugo (from ship): We've achieved 0.15C, relative to Snake-Eyes. That should be enough.
Panel 2
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo stand at their stations.
Murphy: I doubt that very much.
Hugo: I ran the equations three times.
Hugo: The missile should be approaching at 0.16C within half an hour.
Panel 3
External view, the missle zooms past Causa Sui in a flash.
Hugo (from ship): It should then be easy to … eh?
Panel 4
Back in the control room, Murphy smirks while Hugo does a slow burn.
Murphy: I read it at 0.16C relative to us. I told you, Hugo, you skipped a transform.
Hugo: Very well, Murphy. You may compute how long it will take us to catch up to it.
