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
Seamus' suite. In the foreground, Nicole is seated at a small table, reading something on her Screen, a cup of warm beverage in hand. In the background, Murphy is exiting Seamus' bedroom as the door irises closed behind her.
Murphy: He's going to sleep now.
Nicole (not quite paying attention): Hm
Panel 2
Murphy stands next to the table where Nicole is seated. She seems troubled.
Murphy: He's always retiring early. He seems to sleep a lot.
Nicole: Well, he's really old – 339 years, I think. Oldest man in the System, maybe.
Panel 3
Murphy leans against a chair, looking a bit tired herself.
Murphy: My former … Po Xu-ke was the oldest – 400 Terran years when he died.
Murphy: There are currently eleven other humans in the System older than 340 years, according to Longevity Matrix.
Panel 4
Nicole grins wryly at Murphy, who does not appreciate her tone.
Nicole: Po Xu-ke was your … master? He was your owner, wasn't he? Did he like to tie you up and ...
Murphy: He loved me. And … I loved him.
