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
A rear shot of a quarter of Polyphemus frames the red dwarf system with its asteroid rings now several light-hours farther away.
SFX: POP!
Murphy (cameo): Wait, are we running?
Hugo (cameo): I'm giving us a running start.
Panel 2
Polyphemus' engines are firing.
Hugo (cameo): Polyphemus can accelerate at up to 450 mesecs for short periods.
Hugo: We can quickly build a high velocity from a greater distance …
Panel 3
In the control cabin, Murphy and Hugo are supported by the crash-couches that have extruded from the deck behind them.
Murphy: Mmff. Can we withstand 450 mesecs for short periods?
Hugo: Oh, that would probably crush us. Fortunately the electro-grav inside the hull can dampen the force to about half.
Panel 4
Exterior view, Polyphemus pops-in close to the red dwarf system, her engines blazing a streak across the starscape.
