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
Li is standing up again, trying to explain himself. The cops don't look receptive. Barney has his hand on his sidearm.
Li: I was walking not far away and heard a scream but didn't see anything right away.
Li: I looked around and saw a woman run out of here with blood on her.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Li, Andy and Barney. Li is chagrined again.
Andy: I see blud all over U too, mistah. U got enny Eye-Dee?
Barney (sotto voce): Hez obviously an a-leen, Andy.
Panel 3
Li calmly holds forth a finger which holo-projects an image of an identifcation card. The cops are unimpressed.
Li: Of course I have identification. My name is Dave Smith, and …
Andy: I think U shud come to tha stay-shin haus wid us.
Barney: Will U come along quitely, Mista Smith, or do we hafta...
Panel 4
Looking past the cops we see a very confident Bok striding from the entryway. He holds up a finger projecting his podcast 'Las Noticias Indelicadas' logo
Bok: I don't think that will be necessary, gentlemen.
Barney: Hey, you're Bolivar Clark!
Bok: Aw, who told you?
