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
In space, an external view of a perimeter station, beyond which we can see something streaking past.
Caption: Perimeter Station 273 detected a high-speed object appearing at coordinates 18:57:102 and moving toward the City. It reported the event via q-wave.
Caption: Spectral analysis indicated it was made of iron and moving at .915C
Panel 2
In the distance, the City. In the left foreground, we see the missile streaking towards it.
Caption: More reports from tracking stations inward verify the sighting and automated systems quickly refine the object's projected track.
Caption: By the time the track is solved to within 10 meters, the object is 20 seconds from impact with the City.
Panel 3
The city is noticably closer now, but a large green hexagon has appeared in the missile's path.
Caption: Deslocação Dinámico has had the ability to project Dislocator Portals at a distance for a few decades, now.
Caption: But no one has ever projected one at such a distance and been able to target it so precisely.
Panel 4
Panel split horizontally. In the upper half, we see the missile enter the portal. In the lower one, we see it streaking away towards a new destination: a double black-hole.
Caption: And this is how you stop an unstoppable force from smacking you in the face.
