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.
Panel 1
Captain Pinder, Nicole, and First Mate Funmi Balogun (a large, muscular Kenyan-descendent with an ascetic demeanor, but kind eyes) at a corridor intersection aboard the Spanish Wells.
Pinder: Yes, you can have a tour of the ship – my First Mate Abdi Noor, here, will show you around.
Abdi: Pleased to meet you, Ms. Oresme.
Panel 2
Abdi and Nicole begin walking along a corridor, just wide enough to permit the two of them to walk side-by-side. She is peering curiously down a side-way.
Abdi: It is an honor to escort the famed female Sun-Diver.
Nicole: Er, yes, we call ourselves 'Sun-Shooters,' actually.
Panel 3
Abdi and Nicole enter a 5x6 meter room, with cabinets, a counter, sink and cooker lining the walls, a 2-meter table and chairs are in the center of the room. She doesn't look particularly impressed.
Abdi: This is the ship's mess, where you will obtain food for yourself and your associate.
Nicole: Uh, great.
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot of Abdi and Nicole.
Nicole: Actually, I'm more interested in seeing the engineering section.
Abdi: Yes, one does not live on bread alone – but a sated stomach helps one better focus on the job.
