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 2493
Panel 1Present day: Alyss with the grandkids. The youngest two in her lap and others in the background
Alyss: By sundown we had the tent fixed up, and the beginnings of a garden.
Alyss: The boys had set up the anchors for the perimeter web, along our property boundary.
Panel 2
Alyss narrates from a cameo: We see the family at dinner in the cruiser’s galley.
Alyss: At dinner, Warren could not stop talking about the combine he helped build.
Alyss: Brielle, normally the chatty one, was unusually quiet.
Panel 3
Alyss naration continues: We have an overview of the family sleeping in their partitioned tent.
Alyss: We didn’t stay up long, after a day of working.
Alyss: I remember dreaming of our descent to the planet, and sorting seeds for planting.
Panel 4
Alyss’ narration appears in one final box, as Nicole and Li stand outside the tent, bleary-eyed and stretching, in t-shirts and shorts.
Alyss: Days on Novo Palermo are only 92,700 seconds long, but that’s longer than the 86,400 seconds we were used to, so it was long enough.
Nicole: Hmf ...
Li: Yup.
Panel 5
Med close-up on Nicole and Li. Nicole scratches her side lazily, Li rubs his face.
Nicole: I don’t suppose we can take the day off.
Li: Sure but that will mean another day before we can sleep in an actual bed.
Panel 6
The children burst through from behind, almost knocking the adults over. Warren is angrily pursuing Brielle.
Warren : YOU GIVE THAT BACK!!
Brielle: Nyah-Hah!
