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.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 228
Panel 1Nicole and Seamus, with their luggage, walk toward a wide doorway under a sign marked, 'To Lunar Gates'.
Nicole: So, you think 2000 miltons is what I'll need to spend here? Seems like a lot for just one week.
Seamus: It would be more, except I have already paid for your hotel room.
Panel 2
Nicole and Seamus stand in a large elevator, along with a few other bored-looking travelers.
Nicole: When I consider that these cost me just four augrams it doesn't seem so outrageous.
Seamus: When I visited here a year ago, 2000 miltons cost five augrams.
Panel 3
Closer two-shot on Nicole and Seamus. Nicole looks surprised.
Nicole: What! That's a devaluation of 20 percent in one year!
Seamus: When the milton was first introduced, about a century ago, one milton equaled one augram. Now, the ratio is 500:1
Panel 4
Pull back a bit to show a few of the other elevator passengers, all of them looking at Seamus. Nicole doesn't notice them, looks disgusted. Seamus rolls his eyes.
Nicole: And there hasn't been a revolution here for what reason?
Seamus: Most loonans are terrible at math.
