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 1397
Panel 1Exterior view of Eva Jeanne. The gas giant Roxanne looms large in the background.
Elric (from ship): You're putting us in danger as well! Zytemonde has defenses.
Zander: I know. I also know the time it takes those defenses to lock on to target at distance.
Zander: We can keep popping around outside the planetary Oresme shield until I'm ready to fire.
Panel 2
On the bridge, Elric, Zander, and Bok.
Elric: Bok, we have to stop him!
Bok: I'm not certain we should. They must have upgraded their Oresme shields.
Bok: Otherwise Alyss could have escaped.
Panel 3
Elric, Zander and Bok
Elric: Can't you just destroy the shield generators?
Zander: They're located in the same complex as the Central Intelligence mainframe.
Bok: Two birds, one stone.
Panel 4
Elric grabs Zander by his shirt, shaking him. Bok starts to react.
Elric: FOR GORT'S SAKE STOP THIS!
Zander: S-stop-p d-distrac-ting m-me!
Bok: Elric, no! You'll get us killed!
Panel 5
The three boys are locked in a tussle but then are surprised by a new voice addressing them.
Voice: Well, for crying out loud. I can't leave you guys alone for an hour before you're fighting each other.
Bok: Alyss?
Panel 6
Reverse view. On the screen is Alyss' avatar.
Alyss: Yes, it's me. More or less.
Alyss: I'm harder to kill than you seem to think.
