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
A group of med techs are running with some patients on guerneys through a cavern tunnel, looking anxiously about them. Some dust falls from the ceiling.
Caption: 'Those efforts were complicated by the breakout of the First Lunar Revolt in the year 219.'
Caption: 'The rejuventors lost two of the six patients in their care in that year, as they hurriedly moved from place to place, avoiding the battles.'
Panel 2
Johanna and Antigone.
Antigone: Do you mean, 'lost' as in the two patients died, or as in, they were misplaced?
Johanna: They actually did misplace one of the patients. The other died simply due to the harsh circumstances.
Antigone: Sorry, please continue.
Panel 3
Back to the story – physicians are attending Freeman who is now encased in a high-tech coccoon.
Caption: 'Eventually, new advances in bio-molecular science allowed the rejuvenators to attempt a daring new gambit, in 223:
Caption: 'They literally REGREW an entire new body for the fugitive, using the shell of the old as a matrix. Replicating detail down to the last neuron synapse.'
Panel 4
The technicians open the coccoon, and reveal the rejuvenated Farnsworth/Freeman, now resembling the young O'Murchadha.
Caption: 'His outward appearance changed – but his memories, his sense of who he was, remained intact.'
Caption (different colored box): 'Objection!'
