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.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 340
Panel 1In an antechamber to the courtroom, a guard has brought Nicole to meet with Bustamante. Nicole maintains a 'poker face' throughout.
Caption: The next morning:
Bustamante: The arraignment will start in a few minutes. Have you thought about what I asked you yesterday?
Panel 2
Two-shot Nicole and Bustamante.
Nicole: I will not betray Seamus.
Bustamante: {sigh} Very well, if it's that important to you ...
Panel 3
With the guard in tow, Nicole and Bustamante walk into the courtroom. We see the judge's 'bench' with the Lunar Government logo, and two lighted platforms before it. A business-suited woman with short, dark hair stands on the left-side platform, while Nicole and Bustamante are headed for the right-side platform.
Bustamante: Your judge will be Clara Neopolitan.
Bustamante: I should be able to work with her, but she's a real stickler for decorum and protocol.
Panel 4
Nicole and Bustamante on a platform under a cone of light, awaiting the judge's appearance. We can see the guard standing a meter away, behind Nicole.
Bustamante: So only speak when you're spoken to and let me do the talking, ok?
