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 2379
Panel 1Bok doing a newstream in darker clothing and apparently from a bunker.
Caption: Back in Bubbleopolis:
Bok: With the city’s Displacer Net destroyed, the invaders are still highly mobile, using troop carriers to ferry their so-called ‘libérateurs’ from sphere to sphere.
Panel 2
A schematic-map of the city fills the screen, with colors indicating the destroyed spheres, and the invaded spheres.
Caption (Bok): ‘A steady stream of invaders slips past the city’s defenses, now largely out-numbering Chang’s Demônios de Combate as well as Cooper Seguridad and the other security agencies.’
Panel 3
A family hunkered down in their apartment. A deliverer pops-in holding large bags (of food).
Caption (Bok): ‘While citizens remain locked-down in their homes, some with personal Displacers and a high risk tolerance make the rounds, delivering foods and medications as needed.’
Panel 4
The Eva Jeanne swoops by in front of an agrilobe, blasting Snappers.
Caption (Bok): ‘Some of our wealthier citizens own battle-capable skycraft, and are fending off swarms of the invading ‘Snappers’ assaulting an increasing number of important targets.
Caption: ‘Most critically, the globo agrícolas which are a critical food source for the city.’
Panel 5
A group of Demônios crowd a doorway looking into a room full of mutilated corpses, which we see mostly silhouetted. Diana-Clone is in there.
Caption (Bok): ‘A detachment of the Demônios remained in the Libby Building after their attempt to recapture the Displacer Net resulted in the network’s destruction.’
Caption: The detachment made a grisly discovery: the mutilated corpses of the original crew who worked there.
Panel 6
A medico corridor, Kāng Min-Chèng is on a guerney being rushed to the ER. We can see Otto trotting along beside the guerney.
Caption (Bok): ‘During the battle, Kāng himself was grievously injured, and rushed to an un-named hospital. It is unknown if and when he will be able to rejoin the struggle.’
