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
The Helio-Flyer and her escorts now flying in a wide pattern, each ship 50 meters distant from the next, all decelerating towards the camera.
Pilot #3 (Bo): And after my fourth wife split, I decided that I preferred living in the sky to doing the 'domestic bliss' thing, and since then I've been splitting time between Mercury and Huoxing, doing special runs as called upon.
Pilot #2: That was real exciting, Beauregard. You still awake, Nicole?
Panel 2
Reverse angle, now the ships are zooming by and we see Mercury from a high-lattitude angle, looming large in the background.
Nicole: That's affirmative, Gary
Pilot #2: Good, because we're coming up on descent-maneuvers time.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on cyber-Nicole. She looks exhausted but grimly determined. We can see one of the Sun-Shooter ships in the near background.
Pilot #1: Ya sure ya don't wanna link your control systems over?
Nicole: That's a negative, Jake.
Panel 4
Split into 3 sub-frames, with Nicole's dialog spread across the top of all three. In each frame from left-to-right are Pilot 1 (Jake), Pilot 2 (Gary), and Pilot 3 (Bo). They are all softly smiling in admiration for this brash kid.
Nicole: I am going to bring this hunka junk home all by my lonesome, so kindly stay out of my thrusters.
