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 successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 2456
Page 77Panel 1
Cut to a room featureless except for a chair, in which Macron is seated, his legs crossed at the ankles and his hands clasped behind his neck, as he tries to look relaxed. A pair of silhouetted figures are observing him through a one-way glass
Caption: Not long afterward:
Figure 1: So is this how you want to play it?
Figure 2: It’s vital to know what his game is.
Panel 2
Different angle, from inside the room. Sergio Cooper, holding a wine bottle pops-in in front of Macron. With him are a small table with a pair of wine glasses.
Sergio: Hello, Macron. Are you thirsty?
Macron: Depends on what’s in that bottle.
Macron: I expected you would try to drug me, but that will make little difference.
Panel 3
Sergioi pours a glass.
Sergio: This is a 3-year-old Pinot Noir made from grapes descended directly from seeds harvested from a vinyard in Côte de Nuits.
Marcron: And grown in one of your hydroponic vats, I suppose?
Sergio: On the contrary ...
Panel 4
Sergio is handing a glass to Macron as he holds a full glass of his own.
Sergio: … The grapes were grown on a planet called ‘Nouvelle Bourgogne’ which has several regions similar to its namesake on Old Terra.
Macron: Oh? How did those seeds miraculously survive the Calamities?
Panel 5
Sergio holds his glass forth to toast. Macron is swirling his glass a bit, sniffing at it.
Sergio: I said, ‘descended from.’ I believe they’d been cultivated in Argentina before their descendants were exported off Terra.
Sergio: Salud.
