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 Seamus continue walking through a corridor, their suitcases following in their wake.
Seamus: So you don't like secrecy?
Seamus: You don't understand how vital it is to keep trade secrets in a world as both highly-competitive and highly-communicative as ours?
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Nicole, glancing sideways at Seamus.
Nicole: Of course I do. Especially after that first job interview.
Nicole: When you told me things about me even my mother doesn't know, I felt like I'd been stripped naked.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus. Seamus looks thoughtful.
Nicole: But I think I've earned your confidence in these matters, don't you?
Seamus: I suppose you're right. But I can't tell you here and now.
Panel 4
The two emerge from a corridor into a busy concourse.
Seamus: We need to find an ultra-secure location, and there isn't one available to us on Mercury.
Seamus: But I promise you that before we leave Venus, I will tell you everything you want to know. Deal?
