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
New Scene: Ext frontal view of Li’s starship against a starry background
Caption: Meanwhile, 278 light-years away:
William (from ship): Well, that’s three locations and three negatives.
William: Where do we go from here?
Panel 2
Cockpit of Li’s ship, William and Li.
Li: {Sigh} I guess we go to Azmodo, I know some people there.
William: Azmodo? There are still people living on that cursed rock?
Panel 3
Li and William:
Li: A bit less cursed these days, after some folks figured out an effective shield against that planetoid’s radio-active mantle.
Li: The people there are tough as nails and like their privacy … so they let everyone think the place is dead or dying.
Panel 4
Ext view again, this time rear view as we see the ship pops-in roughly fifty megameters from a rather unattractive planet.
William: These people you mention … why do you think they could help, being sequestered away in a place such as this?
Li: Well …. to explain I’d first have to hire you as my advogado.
Panel 5
Back in the cockpit, William and Li.
William: My base rate is a deci-Moebit per hour. But for you I’ll do a consult for one beer.
Li: Works for me, but payment will have to wait until we hit port.
Panel 6
William and Li.
William: Whatever this secret is, I hope it’s worth at least a beer.
Li: It’s worth your life, to be honest. But I know a great brew-pub on Azmodo.
