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!

Panel 1
Glass gets in Stern's face.
Glass: Once we determined the trajectory of the impactor I popped out to PS-187 myself.
Glass: It didn't take long to spot where it had been sabotaged.
Stern: S-sabotaged? H-how?
Panel 2
Glass and Stern as Campos looks on, thoughtfully.
Glass: At 13:50 on this day you accessed the station and switched the UHF decoder bus to a looped multiplexor, effectively blinding the ...
Stern: N-no, sir! I never left the City today!
Glass: The station log shows your code was used to open the access hatch, Stern.
Panel 3
Split panel, in the first half, Stern expresses shock at the accusation.
Glass: Did you give that code to anyone else?
Stern: Of course not!
In the second half, Stern looks completely bewildered.
Glass: Then how do you explain that it was your code that was used?
Stern: I … I can't … sir.
Panel 4
Glass puts a finger to his temple as Glass lays a controlling hand on Stern's shoulder. Stern looks like he's living in a nightmare.
Glass: Senhor Stern, per your contract with the militia, you are charged with sabotage and will be detained in a secure location pending a full investigation.
Glass: You may contact your advogado but your communications will be monitored.
Glass: Capitã Campos, take charge of the detainee.
