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 568
Panel 1Seamus, Commander Vedadi and Nicole in the viewing room. Seamus practically sneers at Vedadi.
Seamus: Commander Vedadi, I presume you came to explain how it came to pass that a member of your crew attempted to hijack me, and inflicted grievous damage on my arti-folk companion.
Vedadi: Yess, well, um ...
Panel 2
Medium shot of Vedadi, trying to explain.
Vedadi: We did check Ensign McCaine's bona-fidess when we signed him on at Voltaire, and they were solid.
Vedadi: But when we checked to re-confirm yesterday, nobody had ever heard of him.
Vedadi: It's the weirdest thing I ever saw.
Panel 3
Seamus and Vedadi.
Seamus: Then why did none of your alarms go off when my pod was disconnected and the airlock was opened?
Vedadi: It was -- McCaine. He somehow managed to hack into our comm grid and block everything on your deck except the security cameras.
Panel 4
A different angle on Seamus, Vedadi and Nicole. Seamus' ire is increasing. Nicole is rolling her eyes.
Seamus: And there was no inspection or comm check of the pod decks between Voltaire and Port Zuber?
Seamus: Our friend spent all but the first two days of the voyage in a twisted heap alongside my pod!
Vedadi: We ... followed the routine that was established.
