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!
Transcript For Strip 2281
Panel 1Daskalov defeated, she shrinks into a corner of the cubicle, despondent.

Panel 2
Cut to the other side of the bed, with Alyss and a more self-controlled but still-simmering Otto. Lorelei has come around to stand with Otto.

Otto: You were my mentor, my guiding star in the healing arts.
Otto: I looked up to you, trusted you!
Panel 3
Pivot to Sergio Cooper and Daskalov.
Sergio: None of this makes any sense unless someone put you up to this, yes?
Daskalov: ….
Sergio: How do you think this person will react when he finds out you've been caught in the act?
Daskalov ...
Sergio: I can offer you the best protection in the city, if you'll work with us.
I suspect you'll need it.
Panel 4
Daskalov stands up and gestures acceptance.
Daskalov: I suppose at this point my odds are better standing with you, than going on my own.
Daskalov: I'll tell you all I know, but not here.
Daskalov: Shall we go?
