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
The Pilot and Seamus.
Pilot: Be that as it may, my command codes are secure.
Seamus: Famous last words, my friend.
Seamus: Nicole, touch the middle-right icon.
Panel 2
Nicole and her display, with Seamus in the background. Now, to the right of the sphere, there's a holographic joystick/control pad.
Nicole: Looks like an old-fashioned game controller.
Seamus: Close enough. Wait for it to flash green ...
Panel 3
Nicole, the Pilot, and Seamus.
Nicole: Okay, it flashed green.
Seamus: Good! Now, nudge the joystick a bit to starboard.
Pilot: Wait ...
Panel 4
Exterior of shuttle, now making a fairly hard turn to the right.
Nicole (inside shuttle): YOW!
Seamus: My little box cracked your command codes in 8 seconds, Pilot. Nicole is now flying the shuttle.
