Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 1518
Panel 1In the same room, a large panel on that broad wall moves down to reveal a wide window. Through it we see part of the planet and an expanse of stars.
Hugo: This is our observation deck, the only place we can directly view outside the ship.
Hugo: With your permission we will now demonstrate our hyperspace slipstream drive.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Murphy, Hugo and CP. Hugo is smiling wryly.
Hugo: I recommend you inform your crew that we will be taking a quick jaunt outside this star-system.
Hugo: After all, we would not want to alarm them by suddenly disappearing. We shall return within 1,000 seconds.
CP: Point taken.
Panel 3
CP turns away and touches the large badge on her chest, as Murphy and Hugo glance at one another. Murphy looks worried, while Hugo is all confidence.
CP: Pbbbbbbbt to Pbbttppbt-fff.
Badge: Yes, Captain?
CP: Our friends are going to demonstrate their star-drive for me. Just a brief jaunt, I'm told.
CP: Continue your duties in the meantime.
CP (sotto voce): And monitor our departure closely.
