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
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.
