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 451
Panel 1Back in the drawing room, a largish holoscreen has appeared in front of the fireplace.
Peng-Bo: So, how many other shareholders are there?
Seamus: Only three -- one at L-5 City now, one on Gannymede and one on Hyperion.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Xie-Po and Peng-Bo. The former looks alarmed, the latter, annoyed.
Xie-Po: Gannymede! Hyperion? That's one of Saturn's moons!
Xie-Po: It takes more than 22 huofen for a signal to reach Gannymede, and 63 huofen to reach Saturn!*
Caption: * About 33 minutes and 95.3 minutes, respectively.
Panel 3
Seamus is smiling smugly
Seamus: A bit more than 64 huofen, actually, since Saturn is nearly opposite Sol from us now.
Xie-Po (OP): Gaah!
Panel 4
Three-shot of the men. Xie-Po is grimmacing in frustration, Peng-Bo is calm, Seamus grins wryly.
Peng-Bo: I propose we dispense with small talk and get this done with two exchanges with Hyperion. That way we're not here more than 26 or 27 huoke*
Seams: Agreed. With any luck.
Caption: * Roughly 6 1/2 hours.
