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 2223
Panel 1Pull back to medium shot of Alyss, now sitting down again. To the left, Michael has telescoped his head up to be almost level with hers. She is looking pained.
Michael: Sorry to interrupt, but you may both want to see the latest vidpost from Noticías Inacreditável
Alyss: Oh gourd, Jerome Falstaff again?
Panel 2
Alyss is looking up at another monitor higher on her wall showing Jerime Falstaff journalisming. We can still see Sheldon on the lower monitor.
Falstaff: … as each wave of business closures triggers another, in a cascade effect.
Falstaff: Just hours ago we managed to speak briefly with Francisco Da Costa, one of Bubbleopolis' leading financiers, about business confidence.
Panel 3
Alyss' monitor almost fills the screen but we can see a bit of border. On the monitor, Falstaff and Da Costa are walking through an arboretum.
Caption on Screen: Arboreto Lepas, 18.9.1076
Da Costa: Well of course random mass destruction is going to harm business confidence, as long as it lasts, but longer term ...
Panel 4
Now the panel is the monitor, and we are closer-in on Falstaff and Da Costa. Da Costa is giving Faltaff the side-eye.
Falstaff: So the Pillars' inability to put an end to this siege – unable to even identify the enemy after two cycles! -- is killing livelihoods as well as people?
Da Costa: I do hope if you have any leads you will let the security agencies know...
… as I have.
