Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 723
Panel 1Looking at the command-deck viewscreen, we see pirates in the corridor, doing something at a panel near one of the hatches. Their heads are covered with mini-bubbs. Some of the combat-bots are with them.
Bartoli: Apparently they were prepared for vacuuming.
Santos: Well, it was worth a try.
Panel 2
Stryder, Mueller and Santos. Mueller looks like he's shitting his pants.
Stryder: They're trying to open that hatch, sir.
Santos: Will they succeed?
Stryder: Most likely. And, we have two crewmen on the other side who would be exposed.
Panel 3
Medium c/u of Santos doing a facepalm.
Santos: I practically begged the company to issue us vacuum-convertible uniforms.
Santos: But, no, they said. An unnecessary expense.
Bartoli (OP): Orders, sir?
Panel 4
Side-shot of Santos and his officers, so that Santos is in the far left of the panel but we can still see the others clearly. Santos looks defeated, Skyler alarmed, Mueller is sobbing, Bartoli is inscrutable.
Santos: Repressurize the section, then unseal the hatches.
Santos: Prepare to abandon the command deck.
Santos: Alert the crew: stand down, we are surrendered.
Mueller: {sob}
