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
At the front counter of an establishment named BesTech Scientific Gear. Murphy is dealing with the store clerk (male standard human), who is looking down at her console display and repeating back Murphy's order. Nicole is standing close-by.
Clerk: Okay, that's one Dickerson Mark III magnetic resonance scanner, one Wilson molecular spectro-analyzer, one laser scalpel, 10 sampler syringes, two pairs of skingloves and ... four forceps?
Murphy: That's correct.
Panel 2
Two-shot of the clerk and Murphy.
Clerk: Very good, ma'am. I'll have these fabbed for you in about 15 minutes.
Clerk: The amount due will be 35 augrams, 12 sils.
Panel 3
Murphy and Nicole confer while the clerk is away filling the order. Murphy is holding up a rucksack.
Nicole: Won't it look suspicious carrying all that stuff into the mortuary?
Murphy: I'll be carrying them in this rucksack I bought down the causeway.
Panel 4
Murphy and Nicole.
Nicole: And the rucksack won't raise eyebrows?
Murphy: I can wear it on my back and hide it in my holo-field. Just like you do with your carry-all belt.
