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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 1048
Panel 1We see the frigate descending towards a military-looking compound. A city skyline in the distance.
Caption (Murphy): 'GENSAXWAL had tracked the frigate to a prison complex 70 klicks south of the city of Xi'an, in north-central China.'
Panel 2
Overview of the prison complex. A large building with four major wings surrounded by a few out-buildings, including a landing pad and hangar, and a perimeter wall dotted with guard towers. The perimeter is carved into the side of a large mountain.
Caption (Murphy): 'Móu Gòu Kòu Shèshī, a 'facility' built into the mountains above a remote village which is its namesake.
Caption: 'It is rumored to be a bio-weapons facility, but that is a ruse to keep the curious away.'
Panel 3
Featuring a schematic image of the central building.
Caption (Murphy): 'In fact it is a weapons facility, but not of that sort.
Caption: 'It is where Wokka-DNG-Hoy takes shanghaied scientists and forces them to develop a variety of advanced technologies.'
Panel 4
Back to Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Huh. The East Terrans are not generally known for advanced technology. They mostly copy everyone else.
Murphy: Yes, of course. You can't force creative genius.
Murphy: But this is a lesson Wokka-DNG-Hoy's executives can't seem to accept.
