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 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 2341
Panel 1Bok standing on his Las Noticías Indelicadas virtual set, streaming a newscast:
Bok: The citynet is howling with complaints and pleas for help and information.
Bok: Notably quiet has been the Intergalactic Council Legation.
Bok: But Legation Director Mordecai Montanha-Flores did issue a statement late yesterday:
Panel 2
Cut to potato-boxed image of Mordy, looking preturbed from behind his desk, making his statement:
Mordy: We categorically and emphatically deny any involvement of the Intergalactic Council with this ‘Universal Freedom Legion’ or it’s so-called ‘Liberateurs.’
Mordy: As clearly the city’s leaders are failing to protect the citizens, we are closing the Legation to all visitors until further notice.
Caption: Recorded yesterday.
Panel 3
Cut to the SchildHaus under assault by Snappers. Bok narrates from an inset.
Bok: Another focus of combat is the venerated SchildHaus, an exclusive steak-and-brew eatery.
Bok: Whether the rumors that this building also houses the city’s external shield controls are true, the invaders seem to believe it.
Panel 4
Cut to Jerome, with his Noticícias Increditável set.
Jerome: Apparently the Pillars’ idea that the Shield House could hide in plain view has not proved-out.
Jerome: Perhaps the city’s heavy reliance on Deslocação Dinámico’s shielding technology may not save Bubbleopolis in this crisis.
Jerome: Many voices are demanding the Pillars request assistance from the Intergalactic Council, and denouncing those who would suggest the IGC is involved in these attacks.
Panel 5
Jerome narrates as in the background, Eva Jeanne roars past the SchildHaus, guns blazing.
Jerome: So far defence has seemed completely haphazard, disorganized, with the big guns jumping from one battle to the next.
Jerome: Where are Kāng Min-Chèng and his militia, Demônios de Combate?
Panel 6
Cut to Kāng, looking out a window with high-tech binoculars. A lieutenant is nearby behind him.
Kāng: Any sign we’ve been detected?
Lieutenant: None so far, sir.
Kāng: The element of surprise will be crucial. There must be no mis-steps here.
