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 958
Panel 1Framed by the backs of Seamus and Antigone, Murphy rises once again to voice her objection.
Murphy: We're supposed to believe a successful total-body regeneration was achieved in 223?
Murphy: Any medical historian knows that such a feat was not done until 289 S.A., by none other than the late Po Xu-ke!
Panel 2
Johanna fairly sneers back at Murphy, as Antigone looks on.
Johanna: Yes, history does name your … erstwhile master as the first to perfect the process.
Johanna: But we should also note that the fugitive met and befriended Master Po five years earlier, at the reconciliation conference following the First Mercorp War.
Panel 3
Nicole lays a steadying hand on Murphy's arm as Murphy glares icily back at Johanna.
Johanna (OP): The fugitive could easily have passed some vital technical information to Po which allowed him to complete his project.
Johanna: Sorry to burst your bubble, dearie.
Panel 4
Johanna addresses Antigone:
Johanna: Bear in mind that this early rejuvenation team was operating well outside accepted medical practices. They were reckless as well as secretive.
Johanna: And, the fugitive gave them incentive to seal their records and maintain secrecy for a very long time.
