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
Nicole 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.
