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
In the middle-ground, Diana has just spotted Drusilla, who we see seated alone at a semi-circular booth in the foreground.
Diana (thought): That's got to be her.
Diana: And she's alone, good.
Panel 2
Diana brazenly slides into the booth across from a startled Drusilla.
Diana: Juliana! Thank goodness I spotted you!
Diana: The Anfitrião said you weren't here but I wondered if you were using a different name.
Drusilla: Que? Quem é Juliana?
Panel 3
Diana looks levelly at Drusilla, who is stunned twice.
Diana: 'Juliana who?' Don't be coy. Juliana Wisotsky. Your real name.
Drusilla: My real … well, yes, that's the name I was born with, but …
Drusilla: I haven't used it for decades. How did you know?
Panel 4
Diana proffers a hand, but Drusilla just looks at her sullenly.
Diana: I'm Diana. Diana Martelli, from Zytemonde. And I'm good at finding things out.
Drusilla: [Apparently so. Then what do you want?]
Panel 5
Diana rests her chin on her hands, smiling. Drusilla looks wary.
Diana: I have questions regarding your murdered business partner.
Drusilla: 'Murdered?' [Do you mean, Max? He died of congestive heart failure.]
Drusilla: [What kind of kook are you?]
Panel 6
Diana smiles. Drusilla looks like the cat that ate the canary.
Diana: I'm the kind of kook who watches your netcasts.
Diana: And I know that only a few tendays ago he passed a physical examination with flying colors.
Diana: Now, I suppose I should first ask, are the physicians in Oz complete incompetents, or was Max Marrón's death a homicide?
