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 97
Panel 1In Nicole's hotel room. Nicole is seated on the side of her bed, looking at her Screen, which is sized for viewing legal documents. She is fully recovered from her flight, but now her brow is knit in confusion. Seamus is nearby, seated on an armless chair which his ass almost swallows.
Nicole: This one is offering 15 percent of net profits. Is that good?
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Nicole and Seamus. She is looking frustrated.
Seamus: Ignore the offers for net profits. Their profits are not your concern. Look for offers based on net receipts.
Nicole: That whittles it down quite a bit, but damn.
Panel 3
Another 2-shot of Seamus and Nicole. Seamus smiles wanly.
Seamus: Your fame will be fleeting, trust me. Go for the faster turnarounds.
Nicole: Compared with celebrity endorsement contracts, quantum vibremonics is pretty straightforward.
Panel 4
Now Seamus looks a bit troubled. Nicole back-pedals a bit.
Seamus: Don't tell me you've been studying QV articles.
Nicole: Only your own monographs – I had a lot of time to fill out there, you know.
