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 569
Panel 1Seamus, Vedadi and Nicole in the viewing room.
Vedadi: Anyway, our recordings also show another ship passed within 50 klicks of our track about a day later, almost matching speeds at one point.
Vedadi: They probably planned to pick up McCaine and your pod once he got it out.
Panel 2
Seamus and Vedadi. Vedadi tries to lighten the conversation.
Seamus: And they would have if Murphy hadn't intervened.
Vedadi: Yeah, I guess 'Murphy's Law' worked against that goon.
Panel 3
Seamus and Nicole cast dark looks at Vedadi, who looks like a 'dying' stand-up comic.
Vedadi: Amiright?
Panel 4
Seamus and Nicole look out though the glass, talking about Vedadi as if he weren't there. Vedadi looks indignant.
Seamus: I think if he says anything else so obnoxious we should cut him into little pieces and feed him to the recycler.
Nicolas: Sounds like more work than he's worth.
Vedadi: Now see here!
