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
The girls standing before the monitor, trying to solve the riddle before them.
Murphy: What about radio transmissions? Can you hear the Network?
Nicole: That's another thing. All it recorded was static.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of the girls, looking horrified.
Murphy: Static! But that would mean.
Nicole: In this universe, there's no civilization.
Murphy: But why? It only went 200 delta-hamids out! There was a thriving civilization two hundred T-years ago!
Panel 3
A different two-shot of the girls, Nicole is moving her hands across the control board.
Nicole: I don't know – maybe it was one of the Mercorp wars, or maybe a nearby supernova hit us with a beta-beam ...
Murphy: Did you record broad-spectrum? Try to digitally enhance the longer-wave bands.
Panel 4
Close two-shot of the girls, Nicole's eyes wide, Murphy looking incredulous.
Nicole: Wait … I got something …
Nicole: It's the time-code broadcast from L-5 City!
Nicole: The time is … 17:21 hours, 19 March … this can't be right ...
Murphy: … Five fifty-six? That's almost twelve years ago!
