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
Nicole and Seamus and their luggage emerge from a corridor into a busy, open concourse.
Nicole: So, what do you think?
Seamus: I think someone tried to take a peek but didn't have time to get at the goods before I raised an alarum.
Panel 2
Nicole and Seamus approach a taxi stand.
Nicole: What if they'd been fast enough?
Seamus: Then I'd have to write off those projects.
Panel 3
The board a cab, which is a bit larger than its egg-shaped counterpart on Mercury. More passenger room, moves about on four impellers rather than magnetism.
Seamus: By the time we've completed the … project I hired you for, we'd be seeing grav sensors and electro-shields for sale in every shopfront.
Panel 4
The cab rises into the traffic lanes, which have a mix of sedan-sized flyers, personal Bubbs like Nicole's, and some freight carriers.
Nicole (from cab): Why lug this gear around, then?
Seamus: To test it, and because … I'll tell you later.
