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.
Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter! [ Mar 9, 2026 ]
UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!
UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.
Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!
(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole. She's a bit startled by Seamus' question.
Seamus: So, what are you feeling about those three that just walked by?
Panel 3
Seamus and Nicole.
Nicole: I'm not sure why, but something makes me want to like that Exec and kick her associates – despite what I think about their shucked-up caste system.
Seamus: No doubt.
Panel 4
We now see the woman Executive seated at another table with her Associates. Nicole and Seamus can be seen a few meters away. The Executive is programming a food order into the servo-bot.
Nicole: I don't get it.
Seamus: Ideology has limited efficacy in a System with such pervasive communication as even Terrans use. So, a different strategem was employed to keep all the castes obedient to the Executives: pheromones
