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. We Won.

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 4

Panel 1
Inside the O'Neill Obloid Habitat, aka The Bloid. It is an obloid sphere 20 km long and 12 km across its widest beam, with a vast array of 'land' – farmland, mainly -- and water bodies spread along its inner surface. Through the major axis runs a bi-directional tram-way, and at 120-degree increments around the tram way are arrayed a series of rings, each roughly 60 meters in diameter and each ring-array spaced 180 meters apart, through which streams of Bubb-traffic flow (2 streams are passenger Bubbs and the third, which is actually double-ringed, carries freight).
Nicole (thought): Figures that this 'detour' turns out to be the route through the Bloid.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Nicole in her Bubb passing through the rings, along with other Bubbs. Everyone is oriented with their heads pointing towards the central axis tram-way.
Nicole (thought): Man, this place has seen better days. Must be getting on 300 years old.

Panel 3
Looking 'down' on Nicole, with some of the farmland almost 6km below, crisscrossed with roadways, sliding by under her feet. She is holding her left palm in front of her, facing back, as if she's holding a mobile phone. With her right hand she pushing her index finger against her left palm, as if pressing its buttons.
Nicole (thought): Might as well pingup Philbert, he should be home by now.

Panel 4
Medium close-up on Nicole, her palm alongside her head, her expression a mix of confusion and annoyance.
Nicole: Huh. No answer. No answer? What's up with that?
