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 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.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 2482
Panel 1Otto sits back, somewhat stunned.
Diana: I can’t give you what you seem to want.
Otto: But, why? I’ve saved your life, twice! Doesn’t that mean anything?
Panel 2
Diana takes Otto’s hand in both of hers.
Diana: Otto, I am grateful. And I hope we’ll always be friends.
Diana: But, you’re a sensitive soul and it would be a mistake to take you to bed out of gratitude.
Otto: But … but ...
Panel 3
Diana braces Otto
Diana: Otto, sexual attraction is not based on gratitude, it’s not based on a sense of a debt owed.
Diana: It isn’t rational, and really, it isn’t fair.
Diana: It either happens, or it doesn’t.
Panel 4
Otto sits there, looking crushed.
Diana: I mean, your family is rich.
Diana: And I have to start over almost from scratch.
Diana: If I were a dishonest person I’d tell you I want you and live off your family fortune.
Panel 5
Diana and Otto
Diana: But you’d figure out the truth sooner or later.
Diana: Otto, you’re young, good-looking, and have a bright future.
Diana: Someday you’ll find your true love, and you’ll be much happier.
Panel 6
Otto has gotten up and moves toward the door. Diana looks after him, sadly.
Otto: Como desexes. I should go now.
Otto: Good luck getting your life back together.
