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 2146
Panel 1Alyss is facing a monitor which has Diana's image on it.
Diana (electronic): Oh, hey, I finally got past your palace guard!
Alyss: Um, hi. Ah, why didn't you call me on my private line?
Diana: Oh! Well, as it happens I lost your telecode.
Panel 2
Angle view on Alyss, with Michael in the background, both looking suspicious.
Alyss: Lost my telecode? From your cortical implant?
Diana (OP, electronic): Well, I basically lost the implant, as it happens.
Diana: Long story. Can we meet?
Panel 3
Cut to Diana holding a screen. Alyss is on the screen but we can't see at this angle. Diana is looking slightly discomfited.
Alyss (from screen): Yes, definitely. Ah ...
Alyss: ...You remember the place where I met with you and Juan Gómez way back when?
Diana: Ah, lemme think … D.O.M.5, right?
Panel 4
Cut back to Alyss, signing off. Her expression is a mix of worry and intrigue.
Alyss: That's the place. Can you make it at 12? The place should be quiet then.
Diana: Sure, no problem. See you there.
Alyss (thought): But who will I really be seeing?
