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 2391
Panel 1Jerome Falstaff reports from a revised Notícias Inacreditável set, designed to look something like a redoubt.
Jerome: While the local Displacer Net is gone, Libérateurs continue their expansion across the city, dispatched from troop carriers using their own on-board Displacer Engines.
Panel 2
Scene in a courtyard where invaders emerge from small troop carriers, and the locals flee before them
Jerome (from cameo): Some of the expansions have been peaceful, as citizens simply responded by running and hiding.
Panel 3
A squad of Libérateurs stands in the middle of an empty concourse
Jerome: The Libérateurs find themselves in deserted common areas, with people as well as goods and services sealed behind locked doors and Oresme shields.
Panel 4
In a different concourse, a squad of Libérateurs marches along, unaware of armed citizens lying in wait.
Jerome: In other cases, the arrivals of the invaders produced different results.
Panel 5
Libérateurs and citizens (now more evenly matched than previously) engage in an intense fire-fight.
Jerome: A citizen militia, organized as Resposta Ciudadana, has begun offering armed resistance.
Panel 6
Back to the studio:
Jerome: But no matter how many Libératurs the resistors manage to stop, and kill, the supply of new invaders seems inexhaustible.
Jerome: Could the best efforts of the Pillars, their ‘second string,’ and the miltia not be enough to save the city?
