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 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.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 2098
Panel 1External view, Causa Sui coasts alongside the second 'space turd.' The rock is canted at an odd angle.
Caption: 123,124 seconds later:
Murphy (from ship): And here we are, as I forecast.
Panel 2
Looking past Murphy and Hugo at the viewscreen in their control room. It is displaying the rock, with tactical lines and numeric readings.
Hugo: Unfortunately it's acquired a pronounced two-axial spin.
Murphy: I suppose we should be glad the drive system on it has gone inert.
Panel 3
Murphy and Hugo.
Hugo: Indeed. It's also good there's no guidance system on it smart enough to deal with getting Displaced to another system.
Murphy: We can use electro-grav beams to stabilize it.
Hugo: Perhaps, but first we need to make extensive scan-recordings of it, untouched.
Panel 4
Another external view of the ship and the rock, coasting and tumbling along.
Murphy: For clues as to its origin, I get that.
Murphy: But it has been 'touched' quite a lot by the radiation and gravity waves of Snake-Eyes back there.
Hugo: One problem at a time, Murphy.
