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
In the Pillars’ conference room, Dominic Martello is kneeling atop the table, it’s dome open. He’s working on something inside. Alyss peers over his shoulder.
Jorge: Well, what do you think? Can we do the return trip?
Panel 2
Dominic leans back, shoulders slumped. He has a gadget in his hand which he was using on the works inside.
Dominic: Well, I think I’ve worked out the navigation system.
Alyss: But we are a long way from home. Almost a billion parsecs.
Enrique: Do you think we can jump that far?
Panel 3
Dominic continues.
Dominic: Assuming I have the coordinates right, well, not quite.
Alyss: We have about 85 percent of the power we need, assuming a small reserve for final adjustments.
Panel 4
Alyss continues
Kofi Akosa: Since we’re no longer fighting, can we build up what we need, here?
Dominic: We’re also rebuilding structures, and people. Give it about two cycles, maybe three.
Lorelei: Three cycles? We’ll start having food shortages by the first!
Panel 5
Alyss continues.
Enrique: Food prices are already rising. Soon we may have a riot on our hands.
Jorge: Maybe we can move closer to one of the nearby clusters?
Alyss: If we do that …
