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
Seamus, Jesús, Nicole and Murphy enter a rocky tunnel from an airlock door. They are very nearly floating, having to move themselves along via hand-grips embedded in the walls.
Murphy: No electro-grav? The natural gravity here is less than .02 gravs ...
Hernandez: The conditions here are spartan, yes. Of necessity.
Panel 2
The four pull themselves through the tunnel.
Hernandez: We must keep our power consumption here minimized to avoid detection.
Hernandez: Besides, we rarely get visitors here.
Nicole: You never told me were 'here' is?
Panel 3
More moving through the tunnel.
Hernandez: Sorry. It's not that I don't trust you but we operate under strict need-to-know ...
Murphy: Judging by the composition of the regolith and the surface gravity, it's most likely either Pasiphaë or Carme. I would bet on the latter.
Panel 4
Hernandez looks disconcerted, Nicole annoyed. Seamus grins. Murphy looks pleased with herself.
Hernandez: Er … well, I'm not saying, but I hope you'll keep your speculations to yourself.
Seamus: I trust Murphy with my life, if that helps.
