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
In a small conference room, Antigone, Murphy and Nicole sit at the small table. Antigone has a small Screen laying on the table before her.
Antigone: Apparently there were two deaths on Huoxing that you two were connected with during your visit.
Antigone: Higher echelons have swept this under the rug and no one his facing chargers.
Antigone: However ...
Panel 2
Antigone, Murphy and Nicole. The latter two exchange nervous glances.
Antigone: Your own contracts with Smith & Holder Resolutions require that you divulge to us any information regarding violent encounters.
Antigone: You have a right to refuse questioning, of course, but that refusal would also become part of the record.
Panel 3
Murphy and Nicole 'huddle' via thoughtsending.
Murphy (thoughtsend): If it got out that Buford killed Ma Bo-Nu things could go badly for her.
Nicole (thoughtsend): Maybe, but under both L-5 City and Belter law she was righteously defending you from a rapist.
Panel 4
Reverse angle so we're looking past Nicole and Murphy towards Antigone waiting patiently across from them.
Nicole (thoughtsend): I once withheld information from a fair judge and paid dearly for it. I'm going to come clean on this.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Very well. I hope you know what you're doing.
