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
Scene change. In a darkened office, a silhouetted figure removes a vial from a small package.
Caption: Meanwhile, somewhere in Bubbleopolis:
Figure (thinking): Damn. It had to be the Cytomax.
Figure: Cheap bastards couldn't send me something softer.
Panel 2
The figure, whose identity remains hidden, loads the vial into a hypo-injector.
Figure: Bad enough this goes against every reason I went into this business.
Figure: But if I'm found out, I'll be lucky if I'm only indentured for a century.
Panel 3
The silhouetted figure exits the office. We can see she's female.
Figure: But … what other choice do I have?
Figure: I signed Trudeau's contracts and now that fink has me over a barrel.
Panel 4
The silhouetted figure now approaches the bed in the sanatório where patient Jane Doe 1782 lay comatose. The lighting is subdued.
Figure: I mean, this poor thing, whoever she is, can't be anyone important.
Figure: But she must be, somehow, otherwise why would anyone want her dead?
