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
An elevated view of a squad of Libérateurs patroling along a concourse. Otherwise deserted, shops all closed.
Caption: Mercado Amoêdo, Bubbleopolis
Trooper 1: This situation is kinda eerie, Sarge.
Trooper 1: Y’ Sure there’s people holed up in these shops?
Panel 2
Close in on Trooper 1 and Sarge:
Sarge: That’s what the scans show, and it’s best they stay bottled up until we’re ready to start processing them.
Sarge: This is their own fault for shooting at us when we first showed up.
Panel 3
The squad is walking past an intersection, we see them side-on in the middle distance as silhouetted fleeing leg attracts attention up narrow corridor in the near-right. Trooper 2 notices.
Trooper 2: Hey, what’s that?
Panel 4
Reverse view, we see a family running away: Pop, mom, grandma 10-year-old girl, 8 year old boy,
Trooper 2 (OP): YOU THERE! STOP!
Panel 5
The family leads the squad on a chase along the corridor.
Trooper 2: Why do they always run?
Panel 6
Suddenly another trooper on a scooter shows up at the other end of the corridor, blocking the family’s path.
