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 2097
Panel 1Murphy and Hugo. Murphy pretends to be the dense student reciting for her instructor.
Murphy: Hmm. Well, we're still pulling against Snake-Eyes' gravity well.
Murphy: Fortunately the missile doesn't seem to have any drives running, so it's still slowing down …
Murphy: Our gravity-drive can take some advantage of that gravity-well, but that advantage diminishes with the inverse-square of the distance ...
Panel 2
External view of Causa Sui rocketing way on its fusion drives. Both Murphy and Hugo appear in cameos.
Murphy (from cameo): But our fusion drives are only limited by our fuel supply.
Murphy: I note that you've engaged them already.
Hugo (from cameo): Why waste time?
Panel 3
Back in the control room.
Murphy: I estimate using both drives it will take us 104,872 seconds to match velocities ...
Murphy: Then of course we'll need to catch up, then slow enough to come alongside at zero relative.
Murphy: So, an additional 18,248 seconds.
Panel 4
Hugo lovingly embraces Murphy from behind, his chin on her shoulder. Both are all smiles.
Hugo: You have always been my favorite student, Murphy.
Hugo: In the meantime, what do you say we repair to our cabin for some extra-curricular activities?
Murphy: You're an awful letch, Hugo. And I adore you for it.
