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 1606
Panel 1Eithne and Ralf running together down a corridor, Eithne a bit in the lead.
Eithne (thought): He's not as fast as I am but fast enough.
Eithne (thought): Once we get past the main junction I can trigger the vacuum alarms.
Panel 2
Eithne and Ralf run through the main junction. A pair of Gluteans are emerging from one of the other corridors and see them.
Eithne (thought): Spotted! Well, I figured as much.
Eithne (thought): And Murphy thinks I waste my time playing virtual commando games.
Eithne (thought): Just a few more meters ...
Panel 3
Eithne and Ralf pass through an archway into another corridor. Alarms flash and the gateway begins to close.
SFX: FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!!
Eithne: That'll keep most of 'em bottled up for at least a kilosec.
Panel 4
A trio of burly Glutean guards block the way ahead.
Eithne (thought): Not all of them, unfortunately.
Eithne (thought): This calls for hyperspeed.
Panel 5
Eithne suddenly darts forward and plants a fist square into the face of one of the gluteans, sending him reeling backward.
Eithne (thought): Up to you now, Ralf.
Panel 6
Ralf has grabbed one of the remaining three Gluteans by the legs and is using him to swat the other two. Eithne looks on from panel's edge
Eithne (thought): Now, there's some poetry in motion.
