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 2409
Panel 1Alyss appears to be at a loss. Jorge and Sergio look on.
Alyss: I … don’t know.
Alyss: Last I saw them, they came to report their findings about the relativistic missiles sent at us.
Panel 2
A bit of a recap, since it’s been so long.
Sergio: Right. The missiles came from the Andromeda Galaxy, meaning, Shenhua Itochu.
Jorge: Meaning, the Inter-Galactic Council. Kind of old news, now.
Panel 3
Alyss clearly doesn’t like what she’s hearing.
Jorge: Most likely they saw our situation was bad and took a powder.
Jorge: Perhaps we should consider an evacuation.
Panel 4
Alyss is now openly angry.
Alyss: I can’t believe I’m hearing this!
Alyss: When the chips were down in the last war, we didn’t just give up!
Jorge: Woah, that’s not what I’m saying.
Panel 5
Sergio, Alyss, Jorge
Jorge: I’m saying we evacuate the most vulnerable. The children. The injured.
Jorge: Keep them safe while we fight.
Sergio: Where is ‘safe’ at this point?
Sergio: The IGC has its tentacles everywhere.
Panel 6
Alyss is looking at Sergio with renewed admiration.
Sergio: Our culture selects for the most robust people, those most-dedicated to liberty.
Sergio: The strength of this city is its people.
Sergio: We have to find a better solution.
