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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
Panel 1
Stern, alone in the room, broods.
Stern (thought bubbles throughout): I mean, it couldn't have been Zondra, could it?
Stern: She's just a bimbo. A cute but kind of weird and pudding-brained play-toy.
Stern: A play-toy who … was pudding-brained enough to record our … sessions.
Stern: And then black-mail me.
Panel 2
Stern, pondering
Stern: How would I help them find her, anyway?
Stern: All I have is the number of a bank account I'm supposed to transmit my payments to.
Stern: I could find out where that is, but if it's chartered in the City, then would secrecy laws shield the account owner?
Panel 3
Stern, looking despondent.
Stern: If I tell the Coronel about the black-mail, my name will become synonymous with ‶sexual deviant idiot.″
Stern: My friends will just laugh at me, and my family might disown me anyway.
Stern: And to think I joined Relógio Céu so that my family and friends would be proud of me.
Panel 4
Stern looking even more despondent.
Stern: But what if … I talk in my sleep, or something?
Stern: Or she might have stolen the codes from me, somehow?
Stern: Then, I'm partly to blame for all those deaths, because I failed in my job.
Stern: I might as well be a traitor.
