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
Exterior view: The shuttle looks like someone ripped the wings and stabilizer off a jet airliner and added six hinged rockets fore, aft and center, and one larger rocket on the stern of the fuselage. It is departing from Circumlunar 2, headed Luna-ward.
Nicole: Hey, I just realized – where's our luggage?
Seamus: I took your bag along with mine and checked it through while you were being, er, randomly screened.
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, Seamus and Nicole, with some other passengers visible in their seats.
Nicole: Will they be safe?
Seamus: Um, define 'safe.'
Panel 3
Closer 2-shot of Seamus and Nicole.
Seamus: Oh, customs agents will paw through our belongings, though it's unlikely they'll steal anything.
Seamus: But we should do a quick inventory at landing just to make certain.
Panel 4
Seamus and Nicole: Nicole is smoldering again.
Nicole: Remind me never to visit this place again.
Seamus: I doubt that I will need to.
