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
A waiting area at the Cooper Security office. Diana is seated, looking a bit nervous.
Caption: Elsewhere in the City, at the offices of Cooper Securidad:
Diana (thought): Alright, Diana, keep it together. You've done all manner of interviews.
Diana: And you've dealt with Sergio Cooper before, even worked with him.
Panel 2
Another angle on Diana.
Diana (thought): He was an advisor to Alyss at our trial over the Château Périlleux affair.
Diana: We first met when Lorelei DeCleyre arranged to have me 'surrender' to him as Byron Tchaikovsky live-streamed the event.
Diana: Kinda weird, though, my memories from that time seem a bit … distanced.
Diana: Like I'm remembering something I watched on a video ...
Secretary: Senhora Martelli?
Panel 3
Diana rises quickly her feet as the secretary calls out from her desk, and gestures towards a door next to her.
Secretary: Senhor Cooper will see you now. Please go right in
Diana: Ah … thank you.
Panel 4
In her haste, Diana trips over her own foot. The Secretary is laconic.
Diana: Gaaak!
Secretary: He can be a charmer, but try not to fall for him before you even get in the door.
