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 2298
Panel 1On a city street, Li is walking away from the two enforcers, who are watching him depart.
Caption: ‘Li didn’t know about ALL of our assets, but I was sure Barnhill didn’t show all of his, either.
Caption: ‘Just enough to make his case. I was convinced the city would indeed fall.’
Panel 2
Now Li is home, with Alyss. She is shocked by what he’s telling her.
Caption: ‘So I went home, and told Alyss what happened.’
Caption: ‘I told her we needed to pack up the grand-kids and take refuge.
Caption: ‘Because, of course, once the city was betrayed none of us could live there.’
Panel 3
Alyss is yelling furiously.
Caption: ‘I was not really prepared for the vehemence of her reaction.’
Alyss: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GOURDDAMNED MIND?
Alyss: WE ARE NOT GIVING IN TO SLAVERS!
Panel 4
Alyss so angry she’s cry-shouting. Li is simply stunned.
Alyss: You want to save our kids elsewhere?
Alyss: Fine! Go protect them. If you have the balls to even do that.
Alyss: But if you leave here now don’t even think of coming back.
