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 808
Panel 1Li is letting a ruck-sack slide off his back, and has two other bags by his feet, as he looks around inside a small apartment.
Caption (Li): 'As my time with Sam and Liz ended one of the first things I did was get myself removed from the foster system.
Caption: 'I established a new identity, got a place of my own.'
Panel 2
Unkempt Li is kicking back in his home office, which is littered with the detritus of living the bachelor life. Typing on his keyboard with one hand while drinking a canned beverage with the other.
Caption (Li): 'My identity would not withstand too close an examination, so I couldn't take any regular jobs or attend regular schools.
Caption: 'So I took irregular jobs. Some were just off-the-books, some were pretty dirty. I didn't care so long as they paid.'
Panel 3
We now see Seamus at his own desk, as he looked 70 years ago. His hair is mouse-brown but curlier now.
Caption: 'One of those jobs was monkey-wrenching a new shield project being carried out by our favorite mad scientist.
Caption: 'But Seamus was clever enough to spot my work and trace it back to the source.'
Panel 4
Back in the present. Li, Nicole, Murphy and Seamus are gathered around a park bench.
Murphy: Did he have you brought up on charges?
Seamus: I did far worse than that.
Seamus: I hired him.
