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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
Panel 1
Nicole and Murphy are in an ante-room to the main hangar. Next to them, on a movable cradle/platform, is the prototype they've designed and built.
Murphy: The first trans-universal probe. Maybe.
Nicole: Ugly as sin. I wish you'd have let me tweak the design for aesthetics.
Panel 2
The platform, with the probe, trundles through an airlock door.
Murphy: It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.
Nicole: And if it works, this ugly construction will be in textbooks for the next millennium.
Panel 3
The girls have moved over to a control console. We can see the probe on the monitor screen, now positioning in the main hangar.
Nicole: I don't see why we have to send it out into space.
Murphy: A reasonable precaution. We don't know what will happen when it activates.
Panel 4
The girls looking up at the monitor.
Nicole: You mean it could explode?
Murphy: Or perhaps create a micro-singularity. Or disrupt the atomic forces, warp dimensions, immamentize the eschaton, or otherwise cause a very bad day for us.
Nicole: I like your optimism.
