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
Exterior view of the Cooper Seguridad building, zoomed in on the balcony where Cooper and Kang are conversing. We can see them indistinctly through the polarized window.
Kang: I presume you have this window polarized so they can’t lip-read us, yes?
Cooper: Oh, probably.
Kang: How amusing. But there’s another one of Alyss Roaz’ refugee collection ...
Panel 2
Now we’re back inside the glass
Cooper: You mean Diana Martelli, or her clone.
Kang: You retained her in your organization so that you could more easily watch her.
Kang: What have you learned?
Panel 3
Kāng and Cooper
Cooper: Not as much as we’d … well, nothing, really.
Cooper: She has to be a sleeper of some sort, but we haven’t figured out what her trigger is.
Kāng: But you are still watching her?
Panel 4
Cut to Diana seated at a restaurant table with a curly-haired fellow. In the middle distance we can see a woman at another table watching them. Cooper and Kang speaks from bobble-heads:
Caption 1 (Cooper): ‘I have agents watching her whenever she leaves her apartment.’
Caption 2 (Kang): ‘Does she suspect she’s being watched?’
Caption 3 (Cooper): ‘Oh, probably.’
