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 285
Panel 1Inside Club Leykis, seating is arranged in small groups around tables perched on a terraced floor in a semi-circle around a central stage. In this panel we see Rando and Nicole, escorted by an usher, being shown their reserved seats.
Caption: 104 minutes later, inside Club Leykis:
Rando: Hope the seating suits you.
Nicole: This is wonderful!
Panel 2
Seated at the table, Rando and Nicole gaze at the pair of drink menus holo-projected above the table.
Rando: What's your pleasure?
Nicole: Do they have chocolate whiskey?
Panel 3
Rando moves his index finger about on his holo-screen like it's a touch device (which it is). Nicole stretches in her seat like a satisfied cat.
Rando: I'll send a query to the bar.
Rando: Wonder who's the opening act here?
Nicole: Dunno. I wasn't paying attention ...
Panel 4
Rando's holo-screen is now showing something that looks like a playbill, featuring Philbert. Nicole's eyes are goggling.
Rando: Some guy named 'Philbert G.' Have you heard of him?
