Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2083
Panel 1Sheldon Rico, flanked by Sergio and Kāng.
Sheldon: Still, there is a growing unease among the populace, that we're still under an existential threat and something must be done about it.
Kāng: We are doing something about it. The Martellos sent the second missile to a place where one of our agents can examine it for clues.
Panel 2
Pan right a bit so we see Sheldon, Kāng, and Montoya's empty seat.
Sheldon: Yes, but we have to keep that detail under wraps for now, yet we must be SEEN doing something.
Kāng: What would you suggest?
Sheldon: Ah … something that visibly helps but doesn't tip off our enemy?
Panel 3
Jorge Ansari, flanked by Enrique Colón and Sergio Cooper.
Ansari: Okay, how about this:
Ansari: We approach the Intergalactic Council very publicly, and be wide-open every step of the way in developing our agreements.
Ansari: That way both the public and the enemy will know and we will know they know, and they will know we know.
Panel 4
Same three, different angle.
Colón: You think the I.C. is the enemy but you want to work with them?
Ansari: Likely not that entire group of satrapies. Some faction. I'm sure of it.
Cooper: Well, as the saying goes, 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.'
