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 2346
Panel 1Cut to: Achal Verma in his office, conferring with Kāng Min-Chèng and Dominic Martello
Caption: One day earlier:
Verma: I fortified the Libby Building just as you recommended, made it ‘as impregnable as possible,’ to your specification.
Verma: And now, you want to know how to break in?
Panel 2
Kang, Dominic, and Achal.
Dominic: Near as we can tell someone left a back door open.
Kāng: It was a well-coordinated strike. The ‘Libérateurs’ began flooding-in within minutes after the control center was taken.
Panel 3
Kang, Dominic, and Achal.
Achal: The Borvonite casing can withstand any impact or shock we might be able to throw at it.
Achal: And the Miyaki/Oresme shields are the very latest certified designs from Deslocação Dinámico .
Achal: So ... Dominic?
Panel 4
Dominic’s usual smirk is gone as he gets deadly serious, and maybe a bit guilty.
Dominic: There is a way through the shields.
Dominic: A flaw in the basic system architecture we’ve known about for years but haven’t been able to fix.
Dominic: Y’gotta keep this confidential, okay?
Panel 5
Kang, Dominic, and Achal.
Dominic: Hit the target with a 45 giga-amp EMP at around 1200 teraherz.
Dominic: This will create a harmonic reaction with the building’s electro-gravity and cause the shields to collapse for about four seconds.
Panel 6
Kang, Dominic, and Achal.
Dominic: How many boots can you pop-in during that interval?
Kāng: Enough.
