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
The Intergalactic Council 'interest section' in Bubbleopolis
Caption: The Intergalactic Council 'interest section' in Bubbleopolis:
Mordecai: Has that bitch arrived yet?
Secretary: Ah, if you mean Minister Heidelberg, she has just entered the building, and will be here momentarily.
Panel 2
Ambassador Mordecai Montanha-Flores is sitting at his ornate desk in a well-appointed office, looking unhappy as he speaks with his secretary, who appears on a desk screen.
Mordecai: She's kept me waiting for almost 40 minutes already.
Secretary: I have managed to adjust your afternoon schedule, so the impact will be minimal.
Panel 3
Mordecai rubs his temples like he's got a headache.
Mordecai: Oh, this is nothing compared with the impact her mere presence threatens.
Secretary: Sir?
Mordecai: She's come to nose-pick my work here into oblivion.
Panel 4
Mordecai and the secretary on the screen
Secretary: Uh … did you mean nit-pick?
Mordecai: No, I meant nose-pick. She's a notorious booger-eater.
Mordecai: Try not to react when you see her doing it.
