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 2344
Panel 1Establishing shot of the Andrew Jackson Libby Building. Surrounded by Snappers, only they’re guarding the place rather than attacking it.
Caption: The Andrew Jackson Libby Building is not particularly large, and lives in an older, darker sphere.
Caption: But it is the nerve center of Bubbleopolis’ internal Displacer Net, which was overtaken by the invaders’ advance forces at the start of the invasion.
Panel 2
Marlon Trudau is gazing at a bank of monitor screens. An assistant stands nearby.
Caption: Marlon Trudeau, Senior Field Supervisor
Trudeau: Any sign of resistance fighters?
Assistant. None so far, sir.
Panel 3
Trudeau paces in front of the monitors, the assistant follows along.
Trudeau: I don’t like it. It’s too quiet.
Assistant: Perhaps their meager forces are busy elsewhere?
Trudeau: Unlikely. We haven’t seen any of the organized militia anywhere.
Panel 4
Trudeau and the assistant.
Assistant: Well, we haven’t seen them here, either. Maybe they’re a myth.
Trudeau: That would be nice but I doubt it.
Trudeau: We’ll just have to wait for them to make a move.
Panel 5
Suddenly the room shakes and the monitors short out.
SFX: BZZ-ARKK!!
Panel 6
The monitors cut, the room lights on emergency. Trudeau and the assistant steady themselves.
Assistant: I guess they moved.
