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 2414
Panel 1Marlon pops back to his field HQ, where his lieutenants anxiously await. He is visibly shaken.
SFX: POP!
Caption: A few moments later:
Marlon: You’re not going to believe this …
Marlon: … it’s gone! The Legation is just gone!
Panel 2
Amelia, Alain and Marlon
Amelia: But .. that’s supposed to be impossible!
Alain: At least, that’s what the scientists promised us!
Marlon: Well, maybe the scientists were correct, but those damn cappies out-smarted them.
Panel 3
Amelia, Alain and Marlon
Amelia: Out-smarted? How?
Marlon: I’m not certain. But I checked one of the outer spheres, and …
Marlon: … Well, the sky looks very different. More reddish.
Panel 4
Amelia, Alain and Marlon.
Alain: More reddish … some new kind of energy field?
Amelia: Maybe. I can’t reach Shārén either.
Marlon: Me neither. So, we are completely cut off from any outside aid.
Panel 5
Amelia, Alain and Marlon.
Alain: So, what do we do now?
Amelia: We are still seven hundred thousand strong. We fight until we win.
Marlon: Brave, but foolish. Almost every one of those 25 million cappies is armed, even the children!
Panel 6
Amelia, Alain and Marlon. Marlon looks defeated, Amelia and Alain look surprised.
Marlon: They may not be well-trained, but they are getting more ferocious by the day.
