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 2308
Panel 1A pair of silhouetted heads are reviewing a video recording of the previous scene. One head has close-cropped black hair, the other is bald.
Caption: Not long afterward:
Bald guy: Did the woman identify who supplied the bomb?
Black hair guy: No. She was just a mule, didn’t know anything useful.
Panel 2
Reverse angle, now we can see that Bald Guy is Kāng and Black Hair Guy is Sergio Cooper.
Sergio: Ro-Jo named a source and we’re checking that out, but ...
Sergio: … we don’t yet have enough information to get a warrant from an arb.
Kāng: And yet Stouder’s crew were able to get wind of the plot and intercept the package.
Panel 3
Kāng and Cooper
Cooper: We have to stand by the Charter or there’s not much point defending this city. Still, we’re closing in on the hubs of this terrorist network and have already made some arrests.
Cooper: So, how is the combat-support group shaping up?
Kāng: {Sigh} Not as well as I’d hoped.
Panel 4
Kāng and Cooper
Kāng: Half the volunteers are raw, in dire need of the most basic training.
Kāng: The other half are veterans of several different outfits and we have to un-train all their bad habits.
Kāng: But the LARPers, they’re the worst.
Cooper: Tell me about it.
