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 2534
Panel 1Nicole and Li are settling into bed.
Narration: That night:
Nicole: {sigh} I hate this stupid forkin collar.
Li: Tomorrow we can scan you again with the autodoc and see how you’ve healed.
Panel 2
Nicole lays in her back, looking annoyed. Li is looking at a tablet.
Nicole: Well, at least I got to chat with Alexandra -- she’ll pass word about our plans.
Li: The flyer is a total loss. Should I order a four-seater to replace it?
Panel 3
Nicole and Li
Nicole: Do you think we’re being too hard on Elvin?
Li: It’s not about being too hard or not, it’s about finding a settlement that everyone can live with.
Panel 4
Nicole and Li
Nicole: You know, you’ve mellowed quite a bit since … the early days.
Li: Hammering out the Belter Compact and the treaty with the Jovian moons were invaluable life-lessons.
Panel 5
Back to the present, Alyss with her grandkids.
Beatrice: Wow, Abuelo Li was quite a remarkable man.
Junko: Why don’t you like him any more, Abuela?
Panel 6
Focus on Alyss, looking a bit uncomfortable but we can see Alphonse over her shoulder, wearing a slight smile.
Alyss: That’s … a story for another time.
