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.
Panel 1
The trio begin walking towards the apartment.
Hari: Orcus?
Seamus: Well, more like the Emperor PoYi, I suppose, but ...
Panel 2
Closer 3-shot; Seamus and Hari are looking suddenly a bit downcast.
Hari: I think you mean Pu Yi, the last Chinese emperor ...
Seamus: Um, yes. I'm afraid our absent friend Po Xu-Ke has been on my mind.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Hari.
Hari: I'd heard about Po's death.
Hari: I don't know whether that situation was more sad, or strange.
Hari: Did he really refuse rejuvenation?
Panel 4
The trio are now inside the apartment, in a living room. A butler has appeared with a serving tray, and Hari sets his now-empty drink glass on it.
Seamus: In fact he did.
Seamus: And it is odd, in that he'd always reveled in being the System's oldest person.
Hari: Maybe he decided that life's a bitch, and he wanted a divorce.
