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.)
For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.
Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.
Transcript For Strip 518
Panel 1Seamus and Xie-Po walk down a corridor, leaving a bemused Peng-Bo in their wake.
Seamus: As I recall your uncle telling me, you have generally been a prudent money manager.
Seamus: As I also recall, your late cousin had rather -- expensive tastes in entertainment, yes?
Xie-Po: It ... it was always thus, despite our uncle's admonitions.
Panel 2
Seamus and Xie-Po continue walking along. Xie-Po wonders where this conversation is going.
Seamus: And yet most of Po's wealth was invested in real estate, manufacturing, and technology bonds.
Seamus: I gather there was little in the way of liquid assets.
Xie-Po: I cannot deny it.
Panel 3
They continue walking.
Seamus: No doubt you viewed my project, highly speculative and shrouded in secrecy, as the best candidate for conversion to the cash you required.
Xie-Po: You are perceptive, Dr. O'Murchadha.
Panel 4
They stop before a large window looking out upon the setting sun. Xie-Po looks at Seamus with piqued interest.
Seamus: Please call me Seamus.
Seamus: As you have learned, those shares are difficult to sell.
Seamus: But what if I told you about another buyer, who would not be subject to the requirement of unanimous shareholder approval?
