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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 2208
Panel 1Scene change: Back at the médico in Bubbleopolis, Otto Sullivan is walking close behind Doctor Denise Daskalov, who is visiting the charity burn ward at Delosario Sanatório Diagnóstico.
Caption: Meanwhile, at Delosario Sanatório Diagnóstico, in Bubbleopolis:
Daskalov: Things are getting back to near-normal in the other wards, but ...
Panel 2
They walk between rows of beds in an open room. The beds have movable walls between them, so we view this from an elevated angle
Daskalov: These are the hardest cases, Otto. Severe injuries, can't communicate or be positively identified.
Daskalov: Therefore no insurance accounts. The beneficencias cover their basic care but not the more costly treatments.
Panel 3
They pause by the bed of a slightly-built person swathed from the shoulders-up in bandages. Exposed arms and hands are covered in what looks like latex. A shock of white hair emerges from the top of her head.
Daskalov: This one was barely alive when she was brought in.
Daskalov: She's gotten stronger and her burns are healing but short of a Lazarus Tank there's not much we can do for her.
Panel 4
Now they've moved in alongside the bed.
Daskalov: It's time for me to change her bandages and evaluate the slow healing.
Daskalov: I can use your assistance, but be warned: what you will see is shocking.
Otto: More shocking than triage after a bombing? Let's do this.
