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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 971
Panel 1Nicole and Murphy sitting together on the bed in their stateroom, conversing via thoughtsend. Their projected clothing is different, indicating a new day.
Murphy: All right, you've set up your accounts as I suggested, right? You'll be out of contact for quite some time.
Nicole: Yes, I did. I don't understand why all this cloak-and-dagger stuff, though.
Panel 2
Closer on Murphy and Nicole.
Murphy: No dagger, just cloak.
Murphy: And it's for operational security. You should understand that by now.
Nicole: But wouldn't Johanna already know about, you know, the secret stash?
Panel 3
Cut to a view of the room from the corridor, their door closed.
Murphy (OP): Remember we're talking about Lord Paranoid here. Seamus didn't even tell Johanna everything.
Murphy (OP): And it's a good thing, too. He's the one who found the monitoring device in that smart-suit Johanna gave you.
Nicole (voiced): WHAT!!!
Panel 4
Back inside the room, Nicole is shocked, Murphy is chuckling.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Relax. He disabled it at dinner the first night.
Murphy (thoughtsend): This might be why he paid you your fee a couple of days early.
