Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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!

Lorelei: And she asked after Monty.
Panel 3
Now Alyss is conversing with Sergio Cooper, in the same manner.
Alyss: She could have picked up the name Diana, including Otto's, from a newstream but...
Alyss: The only way to prove whether or not it's our Diana is by getting a DNA sample.
Alyss: But we have to get it somehow without tipping-off Dr. Daskalov.
Panel 4
Now all of them: Lorelei, Alyss, Sergio, are sitting in Lorelei's living room with Otto. They've been bringing him up to speed.
Caption: Half an hour later:
Otto: So … this could really be her after all? That person I, uh, saw in the food court ...
Alyss: A sophisticated clone. But to prove it we need you to do something for us ...
