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
Back over near the monitors, Seamus (with Nicole and Murphy) speaks with Hernandez.
Hernandez: A virus?
Nicole: More like a spy-rus.
Seamus: Yes, an unexpectedly clever tactic on the part of our adversaries.
Panel 2
Hernandez and Seamus.
Seamus: When the ship sends out an S.O.S., the virus is activated, but remains dormant – and nigh-undetectable – for two hours.
Seamus: Then it causes the ship's comm system to broadcast our location and vector on specific frequencies which space-faring ships rarely use.
Panel 3
Hernandez and Seamus. Hernandez is alarmed, but Seamus calms him.
Hernandez: It's a trap deliberately set for us?!
Seamus: Or someone like us. Now aren't you glad you took my advice NOT to hack Argosy's systems from your ship?
Panel 4
Hernandez face-palms as he realizes the ramifications of the situation.
Hernandez: The Jalopy would've led the enemy right to our doorstep!
Seamus: Fortunately the EM-shield has protected us here …
Nicole: Like a giant condom!
