Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1257
Panel 1The kids are wide-eyed in mixed excitement and fear.
Bok: That was no elevator we were in! That was ...
Zander: A Murphy Capsule!
Diana: But how did it get through Zytemonde's Oresme Shield?
Panel 2
Medium shot of Michael, glancing sideways at the kids, dismissively.
Michael: Oh, please.
Michael: Zytemode's technology is nearly 350 years out of date.
Michael: Getting through was child's play.
Panel 3
Bok is bedazzled. Zander looks at him curiously. Diana is getting angry.
Bok: So … the story my father told me really was true.
Zok: You doubted it?
Diana: This is just as I feared. Alien interference.
Diana: We've been kidnapped.
Panel 4
The kids argue.
Bok: Kidnapped? What do you mean? We were rescued!
Diana: We weren't given a choice!
Bok: You made your choice when you killed that Cor-bot, Diana.
Panel 5
Michael addresses Diana.
Michael: Am I to understand that you … murdered an arti-person?
Diana: That … 'arti-person' tried to arrest us, and fried Alyss' right hand.
Michael: Self-defense, then. But if you are here unwillingly, I can return you to the scene you departed.
Panel 6
Bok and Zander smirk a bit as Diana demurs.
Diana: Uh, no, that's okay. Here's good, for a while anyway.
Michael: Very well. Would you like some refreshments while you wait for the mistress to convalesce?
Michael: I could also put on some vids from your homeworld. They'll be half a year out-of-date, though.
