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 2124
Panel 1Zondra exits the lock-up with Alex slung across her shoulders in a fireman's carry.
Zondra (encaptioned): Lucky for me these bubble-heads like to keep their gravity low. Just three mepersecs.
Panel 2
Zondra and her burden continue down a corridor, only now she has a 'chameleon' holo disguise much like we saw Montoya use earlier.
Zondra (encaptioned): I should still have enough power left in my camo-emitter to sneak past anyone else until I can get to my flyer.
Zondra: I'd really prefer not to leave a raft of bodies in my wake. So unprofessional.
Panel 3
In a dimly-lit corner there's a parked personal flyer. Zondra is hefting Alex' unconscious (and hand-bound) bod into a trunk thereof.
Zondra (encaptioned): This would have been so much easier if I could have just killed him in his cell.
Zondra: But no, Jean-Luc wants to know the questions they were asking him.
Panel 4
The flyer lifts off into the general traffic.
Zondra (encaptioned): I think he also sees an advantage of this poor patsy disappearing, rather than being confirmed dead.
Zondra: So first I gotta stash him somewhere, and get him to talk.
Zondra: As quickly as possible. I can't afford to get discovered here.
