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 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.

Hugo: When transiting in space, one can also transit in time any distance up to that which light takes to cover that same distance in space. Or considerably less, as we did.
Hugo: I never shared this with anyone because I didn't see any use for it, until our recent adventure.
Hugo: This effect only works in one direction, mind you – 'Time's Arrow' remains un-molested and backwards time-travel is still beyond our grasp.
Panel 3
Three-shot of Alyss, Hugo, Murphy. Alyss and Hugo smiling, Murphy cocks a Spock-like eyebrow.
Alyss: Well, it's good to know becoming a 'Tin Man' doesn't have to cost one's creativity.
Hugo: I suspect our creativity comes from the random imperfections in our neural patterns which don't get engineered into artificial intelligence.
Murphy: Just my luck, I'm perfect. But, back to our story ...
