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
Lindsey-Nabors Shipyard is an orbital platform at 1,000 km over the planet. Dialog comes from within.
Li: This way to my slip. I'd rather not dally here.
Bok: So, what's my role in getting you – us for that matter – past the citygate?
Panel 2
They stand next to Airlock 1138 with another holo-touchscreen. Li is typing something into it.
Li: I know you're a favorite of Alyss, so you must have the keys to get us in.
Li: I'm registering you as 'Captain' for this trip. Don't get any funny ideas, just get us safely into a bay inside.
Panel 3
The pair emerge from the airlock into Li's ship. Just an entryway here, very utilitarian.
Bok: And then what?
Li: You go home and make your newstreams.
Bok: Wait, when are you going to tell me about what you did in the last war?
Panel 4
They proceed up a narrow corridor.
Li: The short version: I did it for love.
Bok: Is there a longer version?
Li: Get us inside the citygate and I'll tell you while we taxi into the bay.
