To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1446
Panel 1Eithne is kicking back in the ship's galley, feet propped up on the table, sipping on a drink. A holographic display floats above her feet. We see Hugo (as narrator) in a cameo.
Hugo (cameo): I persuaded Murphy that Eithne could do her task some place more comfortable for her than standing at her station in the control room.
Eithne (thought): Hmmm … nope, nope and nope.
Eithne: None of these supergiants are in the right spectral class.
Panel 2
Another angle on Eithne
Eithne (thought): Or perhaps I should say, the wrong spectral class.
Eithne: That leaves the double neutron stars and black holes …
Eithne: … and those require a different form of detection.
Panel 3
Yet another angle. Eithne's face expresses deep thought.
Eithne (thought): Well, fork me. Gravity-wave scan shows 4,231 wells in this sector deep enough they might be what I'm looking for.
Eithne: I can't look through them all in less than a day … unless I script a bot to do it.
Eithne: Heh. Sometimes I even impress myself.
