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
Alex is getting to his feet. He looks a bit wobbly still.
Zondra (OP, electronic): And it turns out all they knew that mattered was that we were dating.
Zondra: Which I fully expected they'd know, for the love o' Gourd.
Panel 2
We can see Zondra now, standing on her side of the door, ranting.
Zondra: Which means I was also risking my ass going back to Bubbleopolis to get you.
Zondra: And what did I get for that? A big fat nothing!
Panel 3
Back on Alex' side of the door, Alex is standing up straight, gathering his wits.
Alex: Are you looking for sympathy? An apology?
Alex: You murdered over a million of my fellow citizens and fixed the blame on ME.
Zondra (OP, electronic): Oh, nothing like that.
Panel 4
Back on Alex's side, the room is suddenly illuminated in red light, pair of panels within what is now clearly a doorway flashing ‶WARNING: PRESSURE DOORS ENGAGED″. He is turned to look in that direction in alarm.
Zondra (OP, electronic): I wanted to see the look on your face when you figure out what's going to happen to you.
