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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 2022
Panel 1As Bok, now a fully matured young man, is narrating a docu. Behind him is an external view of Bubbleopolis
Titles: Bolivar Clark Presents: Ask Me Anything
Bok: This unique city in space has various names: Galactica, Novo Paolo, Kūchū Rōkaku, France, Oz …
Bok: But the most popular moniker is 'Bubbleopolis,' for somewhat obvious reasons.
Panel 2
Tight focus on one of the translucent spheres, showing the structures within made tiny by scale. Bok narrates from a cameo.
Bok: The 157 Spheres of the city are not made of glass, or transparent aluminum, despite appearances. Borvonite, first developed by the legendary Hari Copperton to protect settlements on airless planetoids, has been continually improved over the past five centuries.
Panel 3
Schematic drawing of a Sphere absorbing solar energy from the Five Suns Again Bok narrates from a cameo.
Bok: Each Sphere absorbs 87 percent of radiation from the Five Suns orbiting their barycenter, as well as cosmic rays …
Bok: The absorbed energy is transformed into electrical energy which gets used to power the buildings and regulate the air contained within each sphere.
Caption: Not to scale
Panel 4
Back to Bok as in Panel 1, with a wry grin. Behind him is an asteroid smashing itself to bits, impacting a sphere.
Bok: The Borvonite spheres of course also protect against asteroid impacts.
Bok: The Borvonite is rated strong enough to withstand a kinetic impact of almost 75 Septillion Joules. That's more than the legendary Chicxulub meteor impact on Old Earth which killed the dinosaurs.
