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
Four-shot of Alyss, Michael (now in Alyss' lap), Sheldon on lower monitor, Falstaff's posting on the upper monitor.
Alyss: Heh. Good old Francisco, always looking to make deals.
Sheldon: His optimism is good but under the circumstances his insouciance may not play well with people who are afraid of losing everything.
Panel 2
Sheldon and Alyss
Alyss: What do you suggest be done?
Sheldon: Well, this Sociodad de Defensa Comum outfit Verdura and friends are setting up will help with public confidence in regard to safety.
Sheldon: Perhaps that's the best that can be done at this point ...
Panel 3
Sheldon and Alyss
Sheldon: Unless you and the other Pillars want to ramp up your donations to the charity beneficencias, there's not much we can do to ameliorate the dislocations.
Alyss: {sigh} But then we're training people to take hand-outs. And once they get dependent ...
Panel 4
Sheldon and Alyss
Sheldon: Maybe we can pair added relief payments with participation in the SDC.
Alyss: That way they keep some sense of self-reliance. All right, let's ask Da Costa to work with your group in developing a system for that.
Sheldon: My group?
Alyss: You started it.
