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
Medium c/u on Heidelberg, looking particularly sour
Heidelberg: As I recall in his last project he spent a third of the budget furnishing his own office. Much of which mysteriously disappeared after he left the project.
Heidelberg: So who, then, is supervising Mordy?
Panel 2
Two-shot of Trudeau and Heidelberg
Trudeau: Er … I suppose I am.
Heidelberg: That's right. And you'd better watch him closely.
Trudeau: This time there will be no skimming and especially no screw-ups. Do you understand me?
Panel 3
Trudeau stands 'at attention' as Heidelberg gives him his marching orders.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Heidelberg: You will travel to Novo Paolo – discretely – make contact with Montanha-Flores personally, let him know he's being watched.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Panel 4
Heidelberg turns her attention towards a screen on her desk as Trudeau hurries away.
Heidelberg: Good. Now, go and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Trudeau (thought): You insufferable €#ñŧ.
