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 2156
Panel 1Sergio Cooper's office. Fairly sizable, with a small conference table and a wide Screen that is currently functioning as a flow-chart. Sergio has been pondering it but is turning in response to a visitor.
Caption: Sergio Cooper's office.
Albert (OP): I thought those kind of charts went out with Microsoft Windows.
Sergio: Hello Albert. Thanks for coming so quickly.
Panel 2
Reverse view, Albert Montoya is walking up towards Sergio. Both men grinning.
Albert: Turns out I had a hole in my schedule.
Sergio: I hear there's a treatment for that.
Albert: Yeah, but it's expensive so I came to you instead.
Panel 3
Another 2-shot on Albert and Sergio.
Albert: Seriously now, what's the skinny?
Sergio: We have a lead on who might have sabotaged Perimeter Station 187.
Albert: I had a hunch that Stern kid was a patsy.
Panel 4
Reverse angle again, facing the screen. Now a double-photo of Zondra Quirós, taken from different angles and times, showing both hairstyles/hair colors.
Sergio: Goes by the name Zondra Quirós. She's been in the city for roughly 4 years.
Sergio: Gives her occupation as 'consultant.' We think she's a sexual blackmailer.
Albert: Ah, the world's third-oldest profession.
