Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 1624
Panel 1Hugo walks over to another machine in his lab. Murphy follows.
Murphy: The Vibremonic Constant has changed? But how can that be, unless ...
Murphy: … We've slipped into another universe?
Hugo: That's one possibility.
Panel 2
Now Hugo is at another machine, both hands moving over a lower panel as he gazes at an eye-level screen. Murphy looks on.
Hugo: Another is that this is a localized phenomenon … perhaps encompassing this galaxy.
Hugo: Ordinarily, I'd say your theory is a good deal more likely.
Hugo: But ... come one, these aliens. Are you kidding?
Panel 3
Murphy looks thoughtful, as Hugo reaches for a small bit of gadgetry emerging in a dispensing tray.
Murphy: Yeah. Not what we should expect. All humanoid forms.
Hugo: The ruins of the extinct civilizations we've found elsewhere have suggested a wide range of forms had achieved techno-sapience. None resembled humans.
Murphy: Back home a lot of humans don't resemble humans.
