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
At the gate in front of the airlock to the spaceliner, Seamus stands with his luggage on a marked section of floor. Nicole stands close-by. The gate attendant looks at her Screen with eyebrows raised. Seamus is not amused.
Attendant: You are -er- 175 kilos over-limit, Dr. Murtagh. I'm afraid we'll have to charge you for the overage.
Seamus: Yes, yes.
Panel 2
As Seamus walks into the airlock, his suitcases trailing behind 3 abreast now, it's Nicole's turn to stand on the marked section with her carry-on bag. The attendant just waves her on.
Attendant: Oh, pfft. You're 55 kilos under limit. Go on aboard and have a safe flight.
Panel 3
Seamus and Nicole make their way along a corridor just wide enough to accommodate the large man.
Nicole: Not to belabor the obvious, but you're bringing six times as much baggage as I am.
Panel 4
Seamus has to turn sideways as he progresses, to allow a ship's steward to squeeze past going the other way. Nicole is blushing a bit in response to his remark.
Seamus: {mmph} Two of those cases are full of equipment I'll be needing.
Seamus: As for the third, well, as everyone has clearly noticed, I'm a great deal larger than you are and my clothing needs more space.
