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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.

Panel 4
Otto and Paul find themselves in a 3x3x3 meter cabin, pinned against a bulkhead with some straps that have extruded themselves from the bulkhead, in kind of emergency safety harnesses. The boys are stunned. They face a giant holographic image of Michael, the C.A.T. aboard the Eva Jeanne.
Michael: Got ‘em both, Alyss!
Voice of Alyss: Good job, Michael. How do they look?
Panel 5
Otto and Paul, still in shock, can only stare back at Michael as he looks them over.
Michael: They look like a couple of scared-shitless nurses.
Alyss: Well, send them back to the médico before they soil my deck.
Panel 6
Suddenly Otto and Paul find themselves sitting on the floor back in the sanitorio from which they were ejected. Several staff are running around, Beckham hurries by and barks at them.
Beckham: Why are you two sitting around? We got an emergency here!
