Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 2082
Panel 1Cut to Lorelei DeClayre, seated at the roundtable. (end potato-box) It's in the 'Panoctagon' although we only see sections of it the background through strip 63. As a clue of transition we can see a bit of the bottom of Panel 4 in the top of this one, as a hologram.
Lorelei: The tough lawman bit has played well with the public, but I think we're dealing with something a lot bigger than chasing anillos de roubo and quelling local squabbles.
Lorelei: I think we should consider working with Ambassador Montanha-Flores.
Panel 2
Pull back to show Kofi on the left and Alyss on the right staring daggers at Lorelei.
Lorelei: Don't look at me like that!
Lorelei: I'm not saying give him the keys to the city.
Alyss: But that's what they'll steal if we let them.
Panel 3
Francisco Da Costa, flanked by Dominic on his left and Montoya's empty seat, and then Kāng, on his right.
Da Costa: So we don't let them steal the keys. Surely we can negotiate some arrangement that gets us the intel we need without giving up anything important.
Kāng: Most of us were not born yesterday. We can proceed, but cautiously.
Panel 4
Back to Lorelei, flanked by Achal, Kofi (on her right) and Alyss (left). Lorelei looks offended.
Lorelei: 'Most of us?' I may only be 243 years old but I don't see …
Kofi: Sheath your claws, DeClayre. I think he was referring to Achal. He's only 112.
Achal: My mother always said I was old for my age.
