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.

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 1731
Panel 1Diana is walking down an office corridor. She has a satchel slung over her shoulder.
Caption: Juan didn't give me my full pay but enough to pay rent this cycle.
Caption: The kinds of cases we were doing didn't pay that well, and he has a lot of accounts receivable.
Caption: But collections are definitely not in my skill-set.
Panel 2
Standing out on a broad, open platform, Diana tosses the satchel in front of her.
Caption: I really don't like personal confrontations. I'd rather just comb through info.
Caption: Juan can deal with the strong-arm stuff.
Panel 3
The satchel transforms into Diana's flycar.
Caption: Once I paid rent I could afford a few groceries, anyway.
Caption: The next day was the 10th of Primary, 1070, as the calendar runs here.
Caption: It was my day off, but I couldn't afford to go shopping, or partying.
Panel 4
Diana flies in her flycar through the city. Background shows buildings, other traffic. Signage abounds, including a billboard for Républicains Por La Démocratie. She's looking sullen.
Caption: Wasn't much else to do but … do some more case-law reading.
Caption: At least that was more productive than hanging out on Mídia Hoj and arguing with anonymous strangers.
