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
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo. He's focused on something in front of him we can't see, gesturing with his hands.
Murphy: You intend to get at the core that way?
Murphy: This thing is heavily magnetized, remember?
Murphy: The gravity-fields won't be able to pull your sample out.
Panel 2
Exterior view of Causa Sui firing a combination of a columnated gravity beam as before, with another beam cork-screwing around it.
Hugo (from cameo): You overlook the 'electro' part of 'electro-gravity.'
Hugo: I can mitigate the magnetic field with an electrostatic sheath.
Panel 3
Exterior view of a core sample being extracted from the missile via the combination of direct gravity-beam and corkscrewing EMF wave.
Hugo (OP): Once we can get the sample some distance away from its parent we can cut it up further and get a precise picture.
Panel 4
Inside the control room, Hugo is gesticulating and posing awkwardly as he manipulates the invisible interface. Murphy is grinning at him.
Murphy: You always impress me with your mad tai chi skills.
Hugo: Laugh if you want but doing this helps me focus on the actual control interface.
