Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2398
Panel 1Lee's ship approaches planet Roussimov.
William: The planet... Roussimov?
Lee: Colonized by some Russian families almost 300 years ago.
Panel 2
Inside Lee's ship.
Lee: The colonists chose a relatively low-tech lifestyle, so the population now is not quite one million persons, clustered into two dozen towns and almost a hundred tiny hamlets.
Panel 3
Lee's ship entering the planet's upper atmosphere
William: Strange place for our quarry to go to ground.
Lee: Maybe not. Most folks here don't do cortical implants, or any other physical enhancements.
Lee: Here especially, she's super-human.
Panel 4
Lee's ship lands.
William: The space-port looks a bit... primitive.
Lee: Not much traffic here. This world is basically self-sufficient, but has little to offer for inter-galactic trade.
Panel 5
William now in disquise, he and Lee pay the landing fee.
Williams: How far do we have to go overland?
Lee: Not far. Less than 200 klicks.
Panel 6
William and Lee begin driving off in a car.
William: When you said these folks like a low-tech lifestyle, you weren't kidding.
Lee: If you'd prefer, I could get us a horse-drawn wagon.
William: No, this is fine.
