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.

Quantum Vibe: Nicole - By Scott Bieser w/Zeke Bieser

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 63

Panel 1
Exterior shot of the Helio-Flyer in transit to Sol – in this shot the sun is behind us and Mercury is a large white dot in the background.
Caption: The key to Helio-flying is speed.
Caption: Shielding has its limits so you want to get in and out quickly.

Panel 2
Another exterior shot – the Helio-Flyer is flying in a sunward arc, Sol looms large and very bright.
Caption: For the shortest possible transit time, accelerate sunward at 15 gravs for about a day, transiting into a polar sub-orbit

Panel 3
In the cockpit, Nicole is asleep in her suit.
Caption: Nicole's bio-suit attends to all of her biological needs for the duration, which includes scheduling sleep time.

Panel 4
Another exterior shot, now the Flyer is turned around and thrusting in an angle away from Sol, which now fills 1/3 of the panel
Caption: At 20 million km from Sol, the flyer is decelerating along its trajectory, which will slow it to 250kps at 4 million km from the sun's southern pole.
