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.
Panel 1
Montoya is creeping through a dark alley, himself barely visible underneath his holo-charm, which is doing a chameleon thing.
Montoya: (thought): No telling who or what I might run into back here.
Montoya: The holo-charm might make me nearly invisible but I still must tread carefully.
Panel 2
Montoya is only a few meters away when the back door opens and a large bundle is tossed out.
Montoya (thought): That must be the back door and … ah!
Montoya: I hope that isn't what I suspect it is.
Panel 3
Montoya cautiously approaches the bundle on the filthy pavement.
Montoya: (thought): Whatever it is, my tracer is not on it.
Montoya: Still, I need to know ...
Panel 4
Montoya lifts a flap to see the face of his stalker. Angle shot so we focus mainly on Montoya's dismayed reaction, but we can see enough of the stalker to know she was beaten horribly. But her hair color identifies her.
Montoya: Maldito seja!
Montoya: (thought): Did they do this to her just because I caught her? Did they detect the tracer?
