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. We Won.

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 2196

Panel 1
Alyss is leaning on the console, recovering from the head-rush. The others are gathered around.
Alyss: I'm fine, Lorelei, but their database protocols are about a century out-of-date.
Alyss: And that was a lot of data.
Enrique: But is any of it useful to us?

Panel 2
Alyss has pulled the crystal from her ear-hole. Alyss regards it somewhat ruefully.
Alyss: I guess … maybe. It's an embarrassment of riches.
Kofi: Or an embarrassment of distractions. Or misinformation.
Panel 3
Alyss places the crystal in a small case.
Alyss: Could be either. That's why I want to take this to Sergio, unless any of you has a better idea.
Lorelei: Are you going to stick that thing in his ear?
Panel 4
Alyss walks towards one of the rear security portals, smiling back at Lorelei and the group.
Alyss: Why, do you think it would turn him on?
Alyss: Most likely he'll stick it in his mainbrain.
Alyss: He may be remarkable but he's not into kink.
