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 1883
Panel 1Diana and Zander.
Diana: I see no need to hack into another system. For now, anyway.
Diana: What about the names I gave you? Did you find anything?
Zander: Nothing on 'Older,' and zippo on 'Château Périlleux.'
Panel 2
Diana and Zander
Zander: But 'Older' might be a truncation of 'Holder,' as in 'Smith & Holder,' you know.
Diana: Perhaps. But what about 'Belbenoit'?
Zander: There, I struck paydirt.
Panel 3
Zander manifests a holo-image of Belbenoit, who we've seen before.
Zander: Belbenoit is a senior field agent, some 45 years with Smith & Holder. He pre-dates Sergio Cooper, even.
Zander: First name is René but he prefers the nickname 'Didi' for some reason.
Zander: He also falls into the 'once associated with RPLD' category.
Zander: His record indicates he's the sort they send in to deal with particularly rough situations, sports-ball riots, that sort of thing.
Panel 4
Medium shot of Diana looking surprised and a bit terrified.
Diana: I … know that face.
Diana: I saw him in a crowd at an RPLD event, so he's very much still associated with that group.
Diana: And I've seen him before that … but I can't remember where.
