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 2243
Panel 1Cut to: Exterior, entrance to the local Callahan's Bar Y Parilla
Caption: That evening:
Lester (from inside): Is that all you're having to eat?
Panel 2
Inside, looking downward at Diana and Lester at their table. A small chrysanthemum in a skinny vase decorates. Diana has a small plate with a few specks of food on it; Lester has a bigger plate holding a half-rack of pork ribs, smothered in sauce, a mostly-eaten blob of potato salad, and a bit of something that looks like steamed okra. He's munching on another rib at the moment.
Diana: That's all, thank you. I'm afraid I'm a very light eater.
Diana: Now, you mentioned something about a gateway?
Panel 3
Diana watches as Lester glances about in several directions.
Lester (soto voce) : Keep your voice down, ok?
Lester: You must swear to me that nothing I'm about to say leaves this table.
Panel 4
Both are speaking soto voce
Diana: I'll keep quiet but I can't speak for the chrysanthemum. It looks sketchy .
