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 2526
Panel 1The women are gazing at a pair of large holo-screens.
Alyss narrates: ‘So, we spent some time studying two documents. One was Penelope’s original contract of sale for the property. The other was the ‘release’ that Adelaide signed for both of them.’
Panel 2
Focus on the women
Nicole: Okay, the ‘choice of law’ in our title contracts is ‘The Belter’s Compact.’
Alexandra: That one is popular with extra-solar societies.
Avila: Except the Huoxingese colonies.
Panel 3
Another angle on the women.
Nicole: Right. But this is good because my husband had a role in drafting it.
Penelope: Situ Li-Liang? You guys are practically royalty.
Panel 4
Another angle on the women, centered on Nicole
Nicole: Except under the compact, all titles of nobility are null and void.
Nicole: The good news is, under the compact, both of you need to sign any addendum or release.
Panel 5
Nicole and Penelope
Penelope: Are you sure? This farm is in Adelaide’s name only.
Nicole: What? Why?
Penelope: I was nearly broke, and she provided the money for the purchase.
Panel 6
Another angle on the women.
Nicole: That’s unfortunate. We may have to call in a legal beagle.
Penelope: Uh, ok, but Adelaide is allergic to dogs.
