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.
Panel 1
Back to the conference room on the planet Bbrrrbtpff: In a cameo, present-time Murphy narrates. Show all three of our protagonists, plus PP, the aide, and the two security dudes standing at attention behind PP.
Murphy (cameo): After a bit more small-talk, the chief administrator got to the point:
Pfbbbtt-pfft: We are of course very interested in your star-drive technology ...
Panel 2
Two-shot of PP and Murphy.
PP: Captain Pbbbbbbbt also reported that we have you to thank for moving that jettisoned antimatter-core a safe distance away before it exploded.
Murphy: Ahh … with a 'hopper' much like the one we used to transport to your planet.
Murphy: Our hoppers can travel 'short' distances almost instantaneously, and serve us the way your trans-mats serve you.
Panel 3A
Show a hopper materializing around the ejected antimatter-core. We can see a bit of the planet in the background.
Caption (Murphy): 'Working quickly, I programmed the hopper to materialize around the ejected antimatter container …
Panel 3B
The now-solid hopper's doors open and the container is ejected along with the air from inside. (No planet this time.)
Caption (Murphy): 'Then moved it several million kilometers away before ejecting the container again, and returning to our ship before the container exploded.'
