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
Establishing shot, Xie-Po's drawing room. Seamus looks about with a nostalgic look as he enters with Xie-Po and Bo-Nu. There are four overstuffed chairs arrayed around a small coffee table. Paneled walls with various decorations, some small statuary, etc.
Seamus: Oh, yes, I recall this room well. Your uncle and I spent many happy hours here in conversation, during my last extended visit.
Seamus: I remember he had a lovely android concubine -- what was her name?
Panel 2
Xie-Po looks at Seamus with narrow eyes, trying to figure out if he's being played.
Xie-Po: It was Veronica. But she's not around anymore. He tired of her and sold her a few years ago.
Seamus: Ah, well, I suppose such things happen.
Panel 3
The men seat themselves as an android servant brings drinks on a tray.
Xie-Po: But we am not here for reminiscing. I have a business matter to discuss.
Seamus: About my project, I presume. You have inherited Po Xu-Ke's share, yes?
Panel 4
Two-shot of Xie-Po and Seamus. Seamus does not look happy.
Xie-Po: Yes, your mysterious project.
Xie-Po: As it happens, I have someone who wishes to purchase my and my cousin's shares.
