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.)
Panel 1
Another, more mature-looking refugee has his hand raised.
Mature refugees: More importantly, where are Dante, Leesa, Tennyson and Landry?
MR: The bots took them away over the past couple of days. Did they get left behind?
Panel 2
Alyss responds.
Alyss: I don't know those names, but we did find three young men and one woman in a laboratory getting their brains scrambled.
Alyss: They're aboard this vessel now, resting in sick-bay until we can get them treated properly in Oz.
Alyss: Afterwards they'll be offered the same choice I'm offering you guys now.
Panel 3
The refugees look at one another as Alyss outlines her offer. One of them is the same refugee who asked the question in the last strip.
Alyss: And that choice is: I can drop you off anywhere you like on Zytemonde, perhaps in one of its abandoned cities, to build new lives there.
Alyss: Or, you can come with us to Oz, where we will help you assimilate into our society.
Refugee 1: What does 'assimil...'
Refugee 2: Put a sock in it, Wade.
