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.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Hugo, Murphy and Eithne sitting at the table in the Causa Sui galley. Eithne is eating from a bowl.
Hugo: Hyper-advanced, god-like beings and they spend their time playing, games?
Eithne: Well, that's what I might do.
Murphy: But think of all the other possibilities!
Panel 2
Eithne pauses in her eating long enough to deliver the following:
Eithne: From what I understand, they did. And did them. These guys are at least 30 petaseconds old, maybe a hundred. And that's just since their corporeal civilization ended.
Eithne: What do you do when you've done everything? Especially when you have a small group of peers to do it with?
Eithne: You either play war games or you go to war, for real. And even BattleRampage 40 Million gets old after a few hundred megaseconds.
Panel 3
Hugo is brooding, realizing for the first time the error he had made.
Hugo: But this is no computer simulation. This is real warfare, with real sapient beings, however manufactured.
Eithne: Yeah. How many Gluteans have your Cush 'assimilated' since you joined them?
Murphy: That's a touchy subject, Eithne. Can we revisit that later?
