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
The tour group stands in a gallery overlooking an indoor amphitheater. The stage is fairly small and has a podium. The walls are polished stone, the furnishings metal and ceramics.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Nicole and Rando looking on, and some of the other tourists around them.
Tour-guide: DIS CONFERENS, OV COURSE, FOUNDD TEH FURST REPUBLIC OV LUNA.
Nicole (sotto voce): 'Exchanging one tyrant 400 thousand klicks away for 400,000 tyrants one klick away.'
Panel 3
Same shot. The other tourists cast annoyed glances at Nicole, who blushes a bit. Rando looks curious.
Rando: Was that a quote? Who said that?
Nicole: Uh -- I think it was Seamus. My boss. Who was here at the time, I think.
Panel 4
The platform moves on, as the tour continues.
Rando: Where is your boss?
Nicole: He's -- attending to some business elsewhere on Luna. For a few days.
Rando: Didn't mean to pry.
Nicole: Sure you did, but I don't blame you.
