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
Cut to: Nicole, Murphy and Seamus, dressed for dinner, approach an ornate double-door. Nicole is excited to be meeting a famous person.
Nicole: So you've already met Adileh Satrapi? What's she like?
Murphy: She's a kindly old grandmother who will serve you milk and cookies.
Panel 2
The door opens and our protagonists are confronted by Leyaj. This time he's wearing a filmy tutu over a g-string, under a tux jacket with cummerbund. Nicole is taken aback but the others take Leyaj in stride. He looks down his nose at them like a typical British butler.
Leyaj: Ah, yes, madame is expecting you. Please come this way.
Panel 3
In a foyer, Adileh glides in from a side-door to meet the gang. She is wearing a very sexy evening gown.
Adileh: Seamus! You're right on time.
Adileh: My other guest has already been seated. Shall we join him?
Seamus: Other guest?
Panel 4
In the dining room, a round table is set for five places. At one of them is Li-Liang. Nicole is overjoyed, Murphy is chagrined.
Adileh: I believe you may have met before?
Panel 5
Everyone seats themselves, except for Nicole, who sits as Li holds her chair.
Seamus: My word, do you realize how long it's been since you and I and Li have sat at the same dinner table?
Adileh: Seventeen years, eight months, if I recall correctly.
Panel 6
Murphy speaks up, to Adileh.
Murphy: I'm almost afraid to ask, but how do you and Mr. … and Li know each other?
Adileh: He was my first network administrator. Also my only network administrator.
Panel 7
Adileh, Li, Nicole, Murphy.
Adileh: I didn't want to let the opportunity for re-uniting you two gentlemen pass.
Murphy: As it turns out, they were re-united this morning. All morning.
Panel 8
Adileh and Murphy look at Li and Nicole, who only seem to have eyes for each other.
Adileh: I see. Well, somehow I don't think Li has had his fill of socializing.
Murphy: Neither has Nicole.
