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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
Panel 1
Now everyone is over next to the apparatus. Nicole has climbed up and is looking into the hole where Moe is working. Seamus and Murphy stand to one side.
Seamus: Be careful! That's delicate equipment!
Murphy: A full EM shield? Projected around the ship, I presume.
Panel 2
Now Nicole is half-way in the hole, working with Moe.
Moe: Okay, just hold that brace there while I get the splitter.
Seamus: Of course. It creates a stationary pulse-wave around an axis of co-radii, at a selected distance.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Seamus and Murphy. Murphy is looking at Seamus with concern.
Murphy: An EM pulse-wave. Which you can move at will.
Murphy: What happens to A.I. Brains that pass through that wave?
Seamus: They would be – rendered inert, along with any other electronics, shielded or not.
Panel 4
Pull back to see everyone again. Murphy is distraught. Nicole has raised her upper-body back out of the hole to say her line.
Murphy: Why would you give a … a horrid weapon like this to violent criminals?
Nicole: Because he's out of his shucking mind!
Moe: What criminals?
