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
Ka and Albert continue along the boardwalk. The shadowy figure still follows. He's the guy in the doorway of Daisy Haze a few pages back.
Albert: I know she's not in Bubbleopolis – which is quite civilized, by the way.
Albert: But Shārén and Cahuenga Renascido are whole planets.
Albert: Did Zondra mention any favorite places on t hose worlds?
Panel 2
Ka and Albert proceed out of the frame to right. The shadowy figure is now a bit more recognizeable.
Ka: On Shārén, there's a burg about 1500 klicks from the capitol city: Sovad.
Ka: I think that's where she's originally from.
Albert (thought): Well, that squares with the data Sergio gave me.
Panel 3
Now the Shadowy Figure is moving to the right of the frame and we see ANOTHER figure following.
Albert (OP): How about that other world – Cahuenga?
Ka (OP): It's a kind of back-to-nature camp for city tourists. She said she liked to 'lose herself' there.
Albert (OP) (thought): But if she's hiding she won't go anyplace she's easily recognized, so ...
Panel 4
The second figure comes more into view. He is dressed in flowing, light-colored robes, and hooded, but a bit of reddish-brown curls peek out.
Albert: Did she talk about any place she'd LIKE to go but never has?
Ka: Hmmm …. couple of places. A planet called 'Bad Axe,' and some place she called 'Hasta La Vista' but I don't think it's a planet.
