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
Cut to Alyss' office, where she is joined by Francisco da Costa. They are pouring over more than a dozen screens scattered over a table.
Alyss: So what does your analysis leave us with?
Francisco: {sigh} Still 47 corporations who may benefit most directly from the first attack, and have the skills and resources to pull it off.
Panel 2
Different angle on Alyss and Francisco.
Alyss: This elimination process isn't eliminating enough.
Francisco: Agreed. But since Sergio sent Albert off on a hunting expedition, my own resources are limited.
Alyss: Have you got any intel from your business contacts abroad?
Panel 3
Yet another angle on Alyss and Francisco. They react to a familiar sound.
Francisco: Only some hints and rumors.
Francisco: Astralcamph-Metapol had a major turnover in their directorate. The new crew is younger and rather brash.
Francisco: But then … eh?
SFX: Wheeze-Rnup Wheeze-Rnup
Panel 4
Looking past Alyss and Francisco, Hugo Galvéz and Murphy emerge from their cylindrical hopper which has materialized nearby.
Alyss: You're late.
Hugo: Sorry, Alyss, but time-management has never been my strong suit.
Francisco: You could get a better suit, you know.
