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
Exterior of the Helio-Flyer, now firing engines against its direction of motion, streaks across the panel.
Caption: By Hour 20, Nicole had successfully made turnaround, and was decelerating towards her rendezvous with Mercury.
Panel 2
Diagram showing how the Sun-Shooter ships flew in a great arc so as to catch up with the Helio-Flyer about 2/3 of its own arc coming in to Mercury from the Sun.
Caption: Meanwhile, the Sun-Shooter flotilla had managed to arc around and match vectors with Nicole's Helio-Flyer.
Panel 3
In the cockpit, we can see Nicole, looking almost zombie-like with dark circles under bloodshot eyes. She is glancing upward to stage right.
Filtered voice: Hailing Nicole Oresme in the Helio-Flyer! This is Jake Offenberg in Lucky Star, and company.
Jake: How ya holdin' up?
Panel 4
Exterior view, sowing cyber-Nicole, appearing to fly backward, although her head is turned 180 degrees around so she can see where she's going. She glances over her shoulder at a bright light that dominates its part of the star field.
Nicole: I see you, Lucky Star. Been tracking you and your two pals for the last five hours.
