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 successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Back at the Po mansion, Peng-Bo Shen and Seamus continue their negotiations.
Peng-Bo: This new tech of yours looks like it could be very profitable.
Peng-Bo: I'd like to give my experts a chance to review the specs and test results before we seal a deal, though.
Panel 2
Peng-Bo and Seamus.
Seamus: That's understandable, but I'm under a bit of a time-constraint here.
Seamus: I must leave Huoxing tomorrow, and will not be able to return for a year.
Seamus: Therefore I must insist we conclude our deal now or else not at all. I have interested buyers on Ceres.
Panel 3
Peng-Bo cocks a wary eyebrow at Seamus.
Peng-Bo: You want me to pay you 12 million yinke based on your claims and a pretty video?
Seamus: Oh come now, Mr. Peng-Bo, you were ready to buy into my other project without knowing anything at all about it.
Panel 4
Peng-Bo makes his decision, as Seamus smiles sweetly. They shake hands.
Peng-Bo: {Sigh} You will make a certified recording of your claims?
Seamus: Of course. You will transfer funds to my account once I have done so?
Peng-Bo: Yes. Then I suppose we have a deal, Dr. O'Murchadha.
Seamus: I suppose we do.
