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 2097
Panel 1Murphy and Hugo. Murphy pretends to be the dense student reciting for her instructor.
Murphy: Hmm. Well, we're still pulling against Snake-Eyes' gravity well.
Murphy: Fortunately the missile doesn't seem to have any drives running, so it's still slowing down …
Murphy: Our gravity-drive can take some advantage of that gravity-well, but that advantage diminishes with the inverse-square of the distance ...
Panel 2
External view of Causa Sui rocketing way on its fusion drives. Both Murphy and Hugo appear in cameos.
Murphy (from cameo): But our fusion drives are only limited by our fuel supply.
Murphy: I note that you've engaged them already.
Hugo (from cameo): Why waste time?
Panel 3
Back in the control room.
Murphy: I estimate using both drives it will take us 104,872 seconds to match velocities ...
Murphy: Then of course we'll need to catch up, then slow enough to come alongside at zero relative.
Murphy: So, an additional 18,248 seconds.
Panel 4
Hugo lovingly embraces Murphy from behind, his chin on her shoulder. Both are all smiles.
Hugo: You have always been my favorite student, Murphy.
Hugo: In the meantime, what do you say we repair to our cabin for some extra-curricular activities?
Murphy: You're an awful letch, Hugo. And I adore you for it.
