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
Captain Pinder, Nicole, and First Mate Funmi Balogun (a large, muscular Kenyan-descendent with an ascetic demeanor, but kind eyes) at a corridor intersection aboard the Spanish Wells.
Pinder: Yes, you can have a tour of the ship – my First Mate Abdi Noor, here, will show you around.
Abdi: Pleased to meet you, Ms. Oresme.
Panel 2
Abdi and Nicole begin walking along a corridor, just wide enough to permit the two of them to walk side-by-side. She is peering curiously down a side-way.
Abdi: It is an honor to escort the famed female Sun-Diver.
Nicole: Er, yes, we call ourselves 'Sun-Shooters,' actually.
Panel 3
Abdi and Nicole enter a 5x6 meter room, with cabinets, a counter, sink and cooker lining the walls, a 2-meter table and chairs are in the center of the room. She doesn't look particularly impressed.
Abdi: This is the ship's mess, where you will obtain food for yourself and your associate.
Nicole: Uh, great.
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot of Abdi and Nicole.
Nicole: Actually, I'm more interested in seeing the engineering section.
Abdi: Yes, one does not live on bread alone – but a sated stomach helps one better focus on the job.
