Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 600
Panel 1Cut to: In the bedroom of Seamus; suite, Seamus is reclined on the adjustable bed, viewing something on his Screen, 'Watson.'
Watson: Message decrypted, beginning playback:
Voice: Greetings, Dr. O'Murchadha. Well, I have good news, bad news and good news.
Panel 2
Looking over Seamus' shoulder at the Screen. It has the same 'Message Master' interface we saw way back in strip 214 of Volume 1. Only now we can see the sender is Wei Yu-Ling.
Wei: The first good news is I was able to gain reading access to Bei Shuang-Kuang's financials.
Wei: The bad news is that not long afterward the breach was discovered at their end, and I had to back out so as not to suffer a trace-back.
Panel 3
Closer shot on the screen.
Wei: However I was able to download the information we need before the hack was discovered.
Wei: I can't use this in court, but now that I know the cut-outs that they used I can do a legal trace from the other end.
Panel 4
Murphy looks at the screen with thoughtful satisfaction as Wei concludes his report.
Wei: So, progress is being made, and our chances of winning this have improved.
Wei: Please remember to send the second installment of my retainer.
