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 successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 12
Panel 1Wearing a poncho over her dead Anysuit, and cloth slippers on her feet, carrying her travel bag, Nicole slinks into a storefront sporting a sign: Anysuit Select
Nicole: What a time for my Anysuit to crat out.
Nicole: Now I have to spend my rent money on a new one.
Panel 2
At the sales counter, the clerk – a 30-ish looking woman with upswept hair and cheek-bones – points to a display Screen next to her, which shows another Anysuit. Not on a fashion model, but laid out flat with a variety of surrounding text boxes highlighting its features.
Clerk: We recommend this model especially for the traveling professional – it's durable, recharges quickly, and maintains a comfortable skin temperature between -30 and +40 degrees ambient.
Panel 3
Nicole in a dressing room, having donned the new Anysuit and closing its front-flap seal.
Nicole: This interview'd better go well or I'll be both jobless and homeless.
Panel 4
Back at the sales counter, Nicole has activated the suit to display the interview-attire she had purchased earlier.
Clerk: An excellent choice!
Nicole: You think so? Well, I guess I'm running with this anyway.
