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 1039
Panel 1Murphy is standing before a raised table upon which is a tray containing a mouse she has vivisectioned. She's wearing gloves which have blood on them. Nicole is standing a couple of meters back, looking uncomfortable.
Caption: Fifteen hours and one 10 light-year rat-transit later:
Nicole: I wish this weren't necessary.
Murphy: The rat appeared unharmed by the transit, but we have to make absolutely certain nothing has been disturbed on the sub-molecular level.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Nicole and Murphy. Nicole still looking uncomfortable despite her curiosity.
Nicole: So how does he look?
Murphy: Perfectly normal. It's as if he hadn't gone anywhere but a few thousand klicks up and back.
Murphy: We can do some more runs with more rats to make sure, but I think we can progress to the next stage.
Panel 3
Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: And the next stage is – what?
Murphy: We don't have other test-animal species. And we've already tested planktronic material successfully.
Murphy: Seamus planned to be a passenger himself.
Panel 4
Close-up on Nicole, looking nervous.
Nicole: But, Seamus is … he isn't here now.
Nicole: And you're not a biological organism.
Nicole: So that leaves … ME.
