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 170
Panel 1Another busy concourse – this one with a very high ceiling, and more plants. Nicole is in the lead, walking excitedly, as Seamus struggles to keep up in his powered chair.
Seamus: Slow down, Nicole, I can't keep your pace.
Nicole: We're 5 minutes late! Can't that buggy go faster?
Panel 2
Nicole pauses for Seamus to catch up. Seamus is looking cranky, Nicole rolls her eyes.
Seamus: And if this buggy breaks down from over-taxing, are you ready to drag me around this station?
Nicole: I'm sure I can find a perambulator to fit you.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Nicole, turning happily towards the voice coming from OP right.
Voice: Perambulator? Nicole, is there something you haven't told me?
Panel 4
Medium shot of Nicole's mom, Vanessa Oresme. She is of Central African descent, physically fit, high cheek-bones, arched eybrows, may look familiar.
Nicole (OP): MOM!
Vanessa: Darling! You brought your walrus!
