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 – split panel
In an inset panel, we see Montoya pull off his half-cloak while his face transforms back to its true appearance. In the main panel, we see him seating himself in the cab again, the cloak wrapped around this valice and wearing more masculine clothing. The drive does a double-take.
Montoya: Is there a place I can rent a car or bike close-by?
Driver: Lady, I told you … huh?
Panel 2
Montoya and the driver in the cab.
Driver: Hey, where's the woman?
Montoya: Woman? Oh, she ran off hissing and spitting like a wet cat.
Montoya: What was her problem?
Panel 3
The Driver turns to his console, choosing to drop the matter.
Drive: Oh, nothing. There's a bike rental place I know about three kilometers from here.
Montoya: Then please take me there, and double your fare if you make it in less than two minutes.
Panel 4
Albert is riding away from Ploog Hoverbikes on a 'bike' – a hovercraft one rides like a motorcycle.
Caption: Seven minutes later:
Montoya (thought): Signal's still clear, and still moving! Good.
Montoya: Should only take me another 15 minutes or so to catch up.
