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 123
Panel 1Captain 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.
