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 2240
Panel 1Cut to: Diana's workstation in the property-recovery department at Cooper Security. She is focused intently at the Screen.
Caption: Diana had expected her job in the property-recovery section of Cooper Security would be as mundane as her old job working for Juan Goméz had been.
Caption: Instead it was much more complicated.
Panel 2
Diana from POV the screen. She's furrowing her brow in frustration.
Caption: A shipment of highly valuable Drangolian Werpolitzi had gone missing from the Kornbluth testing facility in Braunfels Sphere.
Caption: Kornbluth is contracted with Cooper Security so it's up to Diana to track the stolen goods down and recover them if possible.
Panel 3
She leans back in her chair, momentarily defeated.
Caption: Each 'batch' of Drangolian Werpolitzi has a unique identifier code embedded within, making it easier to track.
Caption: So long as anyone handling it is part of the Kim-Favreau Compact, which allows her to search their transfer records.
Caption: But many operations aren't part of the Compact.
Panel 4
Shift focus, Diana has that crafty look, and we can see Lester at another workstation a few meters away, glancing over at her.
Caption: There are ways around such difficulties, but she isn't cleared for accessing data volumes that sensitive.
Caption: The obvious solution is to go work on her 'babysitter.'
