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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 1256
Panel 1Bok, Zander and Diana seat themselves in overstuffed chairs arrayed around a coffee table in a comfortable-looking lounge. On a large, curved wall before them are what appear to be windows affording a view of a starry sky.
Bok: Wherever we are, I guess it's still night-time here. The windows ...
Michael: I'm sorry, but those are not windows. They are monitor screens.
Zander: Wow, really?
Panel 2
The kids are startled by Michael's next revelation.
Michael: I should also inform you that what you are seeing is not a 'night sky.'
Michael: It is how space always looks here. Let me rotate the view a bit ...
Panel 3
The kids are dumbfounded by what they see and hear next. On the monitor screens appears a fairly bright star in the starfield. (We can see the kids' faces reflected in the lower part of the screen.)
Michael: That particularly bright star is the star your world orbits.
Michael: We are in a space-station located half a light-year from that star, well outside its heliopause.
