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 1971
Panel 1Diana is hanging by her wrists.
Caption: 'Shortly' dragged on and on.
Caption: Without any external means of tracking the time, I relied on the clock in my cortical implant.
Caption: The implant that Monty had to practically beg me to have installed.
Caption: The implant that would now keep me from going insane.
Panel 2
Diana is still hanging from her wrists, but our viewpoint is now orbiting around her. In this panel we get a right-side view.
Caption: After an hour like this I started to really worry I'd been abandoned.
Caption: Those damn cuffs held me as solidly as if they were attached to a stone wall.
Caption: So I let loose my bladder. Because better 'crotch rot' than a UTI, right?
Caption: Although by this point I was wishing the creeps had removed my panties, too.
Panel 3
Diana still hanging from her wrists, rotated to rear view, and zoomed in a bit.
Caption: After three hours my hands were numb but my arms felt like they were on fire. I worried I would dislocate my shoulders.
Caption: After four hours I couldn't feel my arms at all.
Caption: I was glad, at least, that the gravity here only seemed to be about four mesecs. If this were Zytemonde with its 8.5-mesec gravity ...
Panel 4
We now see Diana from her left side, still hanging. Zoomed in a bit more so we only see her above her hips. She has a disgusted expression on her face.
Caption: After six hours my bowels were protesting. But then I drifted off to sleep.
Caption: I awoke another four hours later, and discovered that my bowels had relieved themselves of the pressure.
Caption: I decided that if I survived this ordeal then the next time someone asked me if I wanted to ̏hang out' with him I'd shove a pair of dirty panties in his face.
