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 2130
Panel 1Hugo and Murphy are walking up a broad concourse, on a pathway through various large machines and connecting conduits.
Caption: Three hours later:
Hugo: … fortunate that you transmitted a personal log update shortly after I departed the Causa Sui, before, ah …
Murphy: Before I was destroyed, I know.
Panel 2
The pair enter a room with several monitor screens and a pair of podia facing the largest one.
Hugo: So we know where to look for my remains.
Murphy: First, a brief shake-down cruise, ok?
Hugo: At least let me give our new ship a name.
Panel 3
They take their places on the twin podia.
Murphy: So long as it's not something ridiculous.
Hugo: Then I christen this ship, Polyphemus.
Murphy: Poly … the mythical cyclops? Why?
Panel 4
Reveal of the ship in space, twin suns in the distance. The ship is clearly much larger than Causa Sui, perhaps half a kilometer stem to stern and 2/3 of that abeam. It looks powerful. The large dish on the bow is presented, bringing the joke home.
Hugo: (from inside): Are you kidding?
