Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 1014
Panel 1Brigid descends into a stark terrain.
Murphy (from ship): The surface is an uninteresting jumble of silicates and oxidized common metals.
Murphy: But inside, more useful metals and just enough water-ice to support a small installation.
Panel 2
A large door in the ground has opened, revealing an underground hangar. Brigid descends into it.
Murphy: Five years ago Seamus sent an automated fab kit with an expert-system.
Murphy: It built a shielded underground installation for us.
Panel 3
Inside the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: An expert-system? Not an A.I.?
Murphy: A sapient intelligence stuck out here for years on end?
Murphy: You're getting callous in your old age, Nicole.
Panel 4
Nicole and Murphy walk along an enclosed gangway that has extended out from a side of the hangar to the ship.
Nicole: It's freezing here!
Murphy: The pressure environment was kept chilled pending our arrival. It will get more comfortable soon.
