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.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 174

Panel 1
Seamus, Vanessa, Nicole at the bistro table. Seamus is trying to placate an indignant Nicole. Vanessa looks like she's about to cry.
Seamus: No, not a fraud. The revised protocols were published exactly as we followed them.
Seamus: You are indeed the first – and so far only – clone to be made by osmotic construction.
Seamus: She just used larger pieces.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Vanessa.
Nicole: Why did you lie to me?
Vanessa: I – I thought it would be better for you this way.
Nicole: When is a lie better than the truth?

Panel 3
Medium shot of Seamus, hoisting a fork-load of food from his plate.
Seamus: When it protects secrets.
Seamus: The genetic donors wished to remain anonymous, for varying reasons.
Seamus: All of them waived parental right or responsibility for you.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Vanessa and Nicole.
Vanessa: We worried that if you knew you had identifiable fathers you would get curious and start seeking them out.
Vanessa: Most of them didn't want to be sought out. And would react badly if you turned up at their doors.
