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 2336
Panel 1Bok is at lower left, superimposed on a security-cam view of citizens fighting with Libérateurs. His Las Noticías Indelicadas logo is in the other lower corner.
Caption on screen: Mercado Amoêdo
Bok: On Day 7 of the Invasion, sporadic violence continues as the so-called ‘Libérateurs’ enforce their declared lockdown.
Panel 2
Cut to Jerome Falstaff on his own set with his own Noticícias Increditável logo.
Jerome: Invaders continue to pour in through the city’s Displacer network, establishing themselves in sphere after sphere.
Jerome: In contrast to the initial arrival, Libérateurs in the spheres later penetrated are finding the citizenry already in hiding.
Panel 3
Back to Bok. Behind him is file footage of Sergio Cooper.
Bok: Both Cooper Seguridad and Proteção Griswalds are advising citizens to shelter in place, and avoid confrontations with the well-shielded Libérateurs.
Bok: Sergio Cooper would only tell me that a response to the invasion is being assembled.
Panel 4
Back to Jerome. Behind him is a view of the Segundu Azul bank, being swarmed by snappers.
Jerome: Security forces are already fighting back, at certain key locations.
Jerome: One of them is Segundo Azul, the largest banking institution in the city.
Jerome: The building is shielded, but has little in the way of weaponry.
Panel 5
Back to Bok, who narrates as in the background, Eva Jeanne roars past the Segundo Azul building, guns blazing.
Bok: … at least until Alyss Roaz showed up in the Eva Jeanne, which was originally designed to fight a whole planet.
Panel 6
Jerome looking a bit sullen, against a backdrop of Eva Jeanne flying past debris of blasted snappers.
Jerome: At least ONE of the Pillars is doing more than hunkering down.
Jerome: Of course, it helps to have one’s own personal battleship.
