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.

(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.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

Panel 3
Change angle so we see Antigone and Nicole, who pipes up.
Nicole: Oh for shuck's sake, Seamus, is it the rock we're looking for or not?
Seamus: Give me a few more seconds, Nicole. I need a longer interval to be sure I've plotted the course correctly.
Panel 4
Group shot – Seamus is announcing his results, Nicole is whooping, the others look at her with scandalized expressions.
Seamus: Aaaand, done. Definitely on track to intersect Ceres' orbit in just under four days' time.
Nicole: Woo-hoo!
Ed: 'Woo-hoo'?
