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.
Bok: In some other legal systems, an outburst like that would get someone grabbed and thrown in a dank dungeon. Maybe executed.
Bok: Here, the event is simply holo-recorded and spliced in with other sequences then broadcast to make the perp look like a complete idiot.
Bok: Also, his written testimony is thrown out as unreliable.
Panel 2
Now Bok narrates from a cameo. In the main panel, Kimberly Madeiras answers questions.
Bok: The other witnesses called by the artbiters were generally more forthcoming:
Caption: Kimberly Madeiras, the doll-house maven:
Kimberly: Yes, Hayami did call it, 'Le Château Périlleux,' but we thought it was some sort of dark humor.
Kimberly: No, she didn't talk much about her work, just that it was in the security business.
Panel 3
Miller enters the panel, to question Kimberly
Miller: Didn't you find it odd that someone researching for a docu would offer, what, 250 Moebits for a doll-house?
Kimberly: Not a 'doll-house.' A miniature.
Kimberly: And yes, I did think it odd, but some people do take this hobby very seriously.
Panel 4
Miller presses on. Kimberly refuses to be intimidated.
Miller: That 'miniature' was obviously evidence in Hayami's murder! Why didn't you turn it over to investigators?
Kimberly: I offered it to Smith & Holder but they weren't interested. I sold it to the first 'investigator' who showed an interest.
Kimberly: Don't go blaming me for your clients' screw-ups.
