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
Nicole and Murphy sitting together on the bed in their stateroom, conversing via thoughtsend. Their projected clothing is different, indicating a new day.
Murphy: All right, you've set up your accounts as I suggested, right? You'll be out of contact for quite some time.
Nicole: Yes, I did. I don't understand why all this cloak-and-dagger stuff, though.
Panel 2
Closer on Murphy and Nicole.
Murphy: No dagger, just cloak.
Murphy: And it's for operational security. You should understand that by now.
Nicole: But wouldn't Johanna already know about, you know, the secret stash?
Panel 3
Cut to a view of the room from the corridor, their door closed.
Murphy (OP): Remember we're talking about Lord Paranoid here. Seamus didn't even tell Johanna everything.
Murphy (OP): And it's a good thing, too. He's the one who found the monitoring device in that smart-suit Johanna gave you.
Nicole (voiced): WHAT!!!
Panel 4
Back inside the room, Nicole is shocked, Murphy is chuckling.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Relax. He disabled it at dinner the first night.
Murphy (thoughtsend): This might be why he paid you your fee a couple of days early.
