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 1006
Panel 1Barely visible, a dark, highly reflective, flattened spheroid arcs underneath Saturn's southern pole.
Voice 1 from spheroid: Both the EM shield and mass detector are working like champs.
Voice 2 from spheroid: Course correction successful, Brigid is now tracking Course Beta.
Panel 2
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Won't our shield silhouette against Saturn, or the Sun? Someone could spot us.
Murphy: I chose this course to avoid getting in the line of sight from any known observatory in the Saturn system.
Panel 3
A tactical illustration of the girls' course arcing over the ecliptic plane, across the system from Saturn to their destination on the far side of Sol. Murphy is in a cameo.
Murphy: Also, we will spend most of our time well above the ecliptic plane rather than in it, so no one is going to see us silhouetted against Sol.
Panel 4
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: That's great. But I'm worried about this 'gravity drive' we're using. Has it been tested at all?
Murphy: The prototype worked fine. Where's your sense of adventure?
