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.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 1038
Panel 1The girls are standing at the 'whiteboard' where they assemble components for the probes..
Murphy: If' we're going to be doing extensive testing we really need to get a handle on that flash effect.
Nicole: OK, how about if we set an EM shield to automatically envelop the probe at a 10-meter radius just before and after each transit?
Panel 2
The girls are now at the workstation where Nicole had been doing her 'electric universe' calculations.
Caption: Four tendays later:
Murphy: What we've been calling 'delta-Hamids' seems to relate to displacement distance logarithmically.
Nicole: Uh-huh. And on a vector perpendicular-leftward of the main breach engine axis.
Murphy: Can we mount the engine on gimbals?
Panel 3
Girls are back on the sofa, resting after another recreation session.
Caption: Two more tendays later:
Murphy: All that's left is to start testing with a live passenger.
Nicole: Those rat embryos we thawed should be ready by now.
Nicole: Poor little mousies ...
Panel 4
Close two-shot of Nicole and Murphy. Nicole is looking a bit nauseated.
Murphy: Somehow I doubt the flash-transits will be uncomfortable for them.
Nicole: I'm not worried so much about the transits …
Nicole: I'm thinking about the vivisections we'll have to do after they come back.
