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
Wook, Diana, Dominic and Alyss are back in the lab with the CP model. Dominic is looking at the model intently, his 'eyes' telescoping out.
Caption: Dominic downed three shots of Glenlivet and we returned to Monty's lab without me killing him.
Dominic: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Dominic: And that monkey will be as surprised as I am.
Panel 2
Dominic touches something on the console and parts of the CP model glow.
Dominic: It uses holography to 'fake' two extra spatial dimensions.
Dominic: Do you notice that if you look at this thing for long enough, you get a headache?
Panel 3
Three-shot of Diana, Alyss and Dominic.
Diana: Not really.
Alyss: Actually yes, now that you mention it.
Dominic: Ah, the advantage of youthful neuro-plasticity.
Dominic: Your young brain can more easily adjust to the illusion.
Panel 4
Diana looks at Dominic darkly.
Caption: It occurred to me that my 'young brain' had still not adjusted to using Displacers. But instead I said:
Diana: But this is holographic fakery. Is there a way someone can actually build something in six-dimensional spacetime?
Dominic: Sure, all you need is a six-dimensional fabber. Such a silly question.
