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
Medium close-up on Antigone, re-capping.
Antigone: So you've discovered a plot to commit mass-murder, arranged so as to trigger a general war between Ceres and Hygiea.
Antigone: Vesta Vista Development is the major actor here but you also implicate Omega Tech and the Republic of Luna government.
Antigone: So, what did you do with your findings?
Panel 2
Re-establish scene in hotel bedroom: Ed Newsdon, Chelsea Flemming, Nicole, Antigone, and Murphy floating in the Bubb. Chelsea looks remorseful.
Ed: Chelsea took them to Nina Levin, against my advice.
Chelsea: And she ended up dead. Because of me.
Ed: No, because of Vesta Vista. I figured we'd be next so we contacted Chelsea's grandfather.
Panel 3
Chelsea and Nicole.
Chelsea: We explained the situation to him, and showed him our data – he can process information remarkably quickly, you know.
Nicole: And he believes you.
Chelsea: And he believes us, yes.
Panel 4
Ed, Chelsea, Nicole and Antigone.
Ed: He contacted some people he knows on Ceres but they're skeptical. It's hard to react to a threat you can't see.
Chelsea: But Grampa thinks he has a solution.
Nicole: Huh. I'll bet I know what that is, too.
