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.

(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.)
Panel 1
Sergio, Severin, and Ajax
Sergio: Alain Severin. Our contact said you were a reasonable, uh, man.
Sergio: And absent that monster over there, you’re in charge, yes?
Severin: I … I guess so.
Panel 2
Alyss looks like she’s trying to squeeze Amelia’s head like a pimple.
Sergio (op): Looks like Alyss here is going to take your boss’ head off.
Sergio: You can escape that fate by ordering all occupation troops to surrender.
Panel 3
Back to Sergio, Severin and Ajax
Severin: Uh … ok, but ...
Severin: What is to become of us?
Ajax: We’re not barbarians. Not most of us, anyway.
Panel 4
Sergio and Severin
Sergio: You and your men will be disarmed and held prisoner for a short time.
Sergio: If you cooperate fully, most of you will be released to the IGC on Shārén.
Severin: M-most of us?
Panel 5
Cut to Alyss still choking Amelia, who might be dead already.
Sergio (OP): A lot of us have claims against your troops.
Sergio: But I suspect most of us will simply want you out of the city.
Sergio: And again, it’s not like you have a choice, is there?
Panel 6
Sergio lays a hand on Alyss’ shoulder. She’s still ‘choking’ a now-dead Amelia
Sergio: All right, it’s arranged. You can let go of the monster now.
Alyss: Already?
