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
Now the citizen coming from the left is confronting the plain woman and another citizen is trotting-in from the right. At this point we can see both citizens are wearing little gold badges, but they are not otherwise uniformly dressed. Bok and Jerome continue walking away.
Bok: Maybe I can get Kāng to talk to me.
Jerome: Maybe you can, but would you report what he tells you?
Bok: Depends, you know that. We don’t burn our sources.
Panel 2
In the foreground, the plain woman slugs the first citizen with a right hook. The second citizen has his own zringer out, charging up. The commotion alerts Bok and Jerome, who have nearly disappeared into the distance.
SFX (not large): Chok
Second Citizen: Merde!.
Jerome: So long as they don’t … eh?
Panel 3
The second citizen stuns the woman with his zringer, as the first citizen recovers from the right hook. Bok and Jerome start trotting back toward them.
SFX: ZING!!
Bok: The hell – ?
Panel 4
In the foreground, the two citizens are half-supporting, half-grappling with the stunned woman as Bok and Jerome close in. A few others in the background have emerged and are looking on.
Bok: I can’t believe this … an open mugging?
Jerome: Should we intervene?
