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 successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Hugo and Murphy are walking past Kofi and Lorelei, towards Alyss.
Kofi: So – assuming we work with you -- what next? Do we let our brain trust in on it?
Hugo: There's an old saying: 'Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.'
Lorelei: Well, there are seven of us, now.
Panel 2
Hugo and Murphy are now flanking Alyss.
Hugo: We needn't take that aphorism quite so literally.
Alyss: For now, at least, we keep Hugo and Murphy's involvement to ourselves.
Murphy: To be revealed strictly on a need-to-know basis.
Panel 3
Overhead view of all seven around the table.
Kofi: You know, I've always been wary of 'state secrets.'
Lorelei: We're not really a 'state,' you know. More like a Chamber of Commerce.
Jorge: We don't even own the majority of the spheres anymore.
Enrique: Perhaps we should form a committee including the other sphere owners?
Panel 4
Hugo leans in to speak directly to Alyss as the others continue chattering. Alyss is face-palming.
Kofi: You mean like a House of Lords? Bit your tongue.
Enrique: We could make it an ad-hoc committee, with a prior agreement to disband when the war is over.
Hugo (softly) : You know how to contact us. Let us know when you figure out who's in charge here.
