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
Now First Mate Mueller is standing in front of Hernandez.
Hernandez: Ashanti, what are the particulars on our next subject, here?
Ashanti: First Mate Georg B. Mueller, age 143, from Austria, West Terra. A minor shareholder in GENSAXWAL and veteran of the Third Mercorp War ...
Panel 2
Looking past Ashanti at Mueller, who is looking close to a nervous breakdown.
Ashanti: … where he commanded the prisoner transport ship Ritspah.
Ashanti: During the war Mueller used some of the young women prisoners as … entertainment for his crew, and sold more of them, plus many children, to slavers. Off the books.
Panel 3
Hernandez, looking rather disgusted, speaks with Ashanti.
Hernandez: Anything else we should know?
Ashanti: In 512 S.A., Mueller's wife, Liza, was hospitalized with severe external and internal injuries.
Panel 4
Flashback shot of a slightly younger-looking Mueller, in civilian clothes, punching a 30-something woman, whose back is to us. The woman has reddish, curly hair.
Caption (Ashanti): 'An investigation found Mueller had caused the injuries in a domestic quarrel, and in fact had beaten her repeatedly throughout their 20-year marriage.
Caption: 'They divorced soon afterward.'
