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 2261
Panel 1Cut to, a dimly-lit bar. Walls and appointments look like they were grown rather than assembled, out of some dark wood. A bald man with oddly-shaped goggles, some tattoos including a cockroach tattoo on his upper forehead, sits at a bar. We can see some tables and other guests behind him.
Caption: Argwotts Tavern & Inn, on New Charlotte
Voice from off-panel: That's the most ridiculous disguise I've ever seen.
Panel 2
A heavy-set, disagreeable-looking woman with jet-black, straight hair slides up next to the bald man.
Bald Man: Oh yeah, 'Dave'? Looked in a mirror lately?
Orange Hair: This is almost perfect. No one bothers me.
Panel 3
Orange orders a drink from a pop-up screen at the bar.
Bald man: 'Almost' -?
Orange Hair: No one offers to buy me a drink.
Orange Hair: Has our friend been here long?
Panel 4
New angle so we're looking past the pair at a table in the corner. Albert Montoya is seated there, looking bored, a nearly-full drink on the table in front of him..
Bald Man: Since I got here five minutes ago. Hardly touched his drink.
Orange Hair: Waiting for someone.
Bald Man: Probably some hot chick.
