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.
Transcript For Strip 1818
Panel 1Pull back to show the entire S&H headquarters building. An imposing sim-granite structure surrounded by a tree-lined promenade on the outskirts of which are several smaller buildings.
Caption: I'd known we'd be taking a hopper to the Smith & Holder headquarters but I didn't know Byron's video set itself was the hopper.
Caption: That little surprise, combined with Lorelei's newly-revealed agenda, was making me feel manipulated. And I didn't like that one bit.
Panel 2
Lorelei, Diana and Byron greet Dong, Areum, and the new girl as they all stand near the hopper/set, in front of the S&H building. The floating cameras surround them. Diana is doing introductions.
Diana: Byron and Lorelei, these are my friends Dong Gyeon-Hoon, his neice Areum, and, uh … I don't know this other woman.
Dong: She is my other neice, Wook. We are honored to make your acquaintance.
Byron: Charmed, I'm sure.
Panel 3
Lorelei, Byron, Dong, Diana, Areum, Wook. The Koreans are flanking Diana protectively.
Lorelei: So, what's your plan? Do we go inside?
Byron: Oh heavens, no. They won't let me bring my cameras inside.
Byron: We wait for them to come out to us.
Panel 4
Looking from behind Byron & co., we see a phalanx of uniformed S&H agents approaching from the building.
Lorelei: Looks like we won't have to wait long.
Byron: Relax and follow my lead.
Diana: Can we go back? I just remembered I need to wash my hair.
Areum: Again?
