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
Kāng and Horton, along with Burdon from Kelso’s group, advance down the corridor, guns and electro-blades ready.
Horton: There may be a simpler plan than fighting our way to each of the other portals.
Kāng: And that would be –?
Panel 2
Kāng, Horton and Burdon. Kāng and Burdon react in shock at Horton’s suggestion.
Horton: It’s a shorter path to the system’s routing core.
Horton: We destroy that, we deny the Displacer network to the enemy.
Panel 3
Kāng, Horton and Burdon. Kāng looks thoughtful.bb
Burdon: We also deny the network to ourselves!
Horton: The core can be re-built later. Assuming we don’t lose the city.
Panel 4
Just as Burdon starts to reply, a pair of Zangs barely miss them.
Burdon: If we can secure this building, we won’t have to ...
SFX: two ZANGs
Panel 5
Once more Kāng makes with the whirling blades; Burdon and Horton flank him, taking partial cover and returning fire.
SFX: multiple ZANGs
Panel 6
The fire-fight over, Kāng looks tired, his arms hanging low, as he answers Horton.
Kāng: Very well, Senhor Horton, lead us to the routing core.
