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
They walk over to Sergio's desk, its traditional oaken-desk features matching the frame surrounding the map of the City on the wall behind.
Sergio: She disappeared the same day as the the Grande Bosta, without a trace.
Sergio: We'd hoped Stern could help us find her, but he had little useful information.
Albert: I'd like to question him.
Panel 2
Focus on Sergio.
Sergio: I'm afraid that's not possible.
Sergio: Five days ago Quirós was spotted at a shopping mall near the old CraigsBanc building.
Sergio: One day later Stern disappeared from his cell in the old CraigsBanc building.
Panel 3
Albert parks one cheek on the corner of Sergio's desk as they continue their palaver.
Albert: Quite a coinky-dink, as my granma used to say.
Sergio: We're sure what happened. She used a chameleon-holo that fooled the the two guards she walked past and the one she zinged …
Sergio: … but our cameras got a good look at her just outside the cell.
Panel 4
Another angle on Albert and Sergio, Albert is smiling wryly.
Alberto: Tsk-tsk. And her appearance there didn't set off any alarms?
Sergio: Hey, you know we have little experience doing jails or prisons here.
Alberto: Yeah, it's to our credit we haven't needed to. But damned inconvenient now.
