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
Claud and Nicole in the booth. Claud is sitting back, looking burnt, refilling his shot glass. Nicole looks conciliatory.
Nicole: Awright, awright, all kidding ashide, you really wanna know what my shun-dive was all about?
Claud: IM AL EARZ.
Panel 2
Looking past Claud at Nicole, as she fills her own shot glass.
Nicole: How knowlg … knowlegdy … well-vershed are you in electro-physicsh?
Claud: Uh … WEL ENUF
Panel 3
Nicole shifts into full-babble mode, filling the background with verbiage:
Nicole: We are exshploring the 'Electroplasmic Universe' theoriesh of Kravinoor Awashina, which builds on earlier work by Hannes Alfvén and Oskar Klein, who poshited that electromagnetic forshes, inneracting with plashma on coshmic shcales, better explainsh large-body movements than Einshtein's shpace-time theoriesh. We hope to eshtablish the exishtence of ambiplashma an develop a means of manufacturing it for use ash a new fuel source, 1000 times more potent than our besht fushion reactorsh. If we can do that, we can revolutionize energy production and space travel.
Panel 4
Nicole knocks back her drink. Claud looks a bit dazed.
Nicole: Do you shee the implicationsh here?
Claud: Uh … YS AI THINK AI DO.
