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.
Panel 1
Back on Ganymede, Murphy is speaking with a Beltape woman at Wingspeed Travel Agency (there's a sign on the wall).
Caption: Back on Ganymede:
Travel Agent: I'm sorry, but there's not another transport of any kind from here to the Saturn System scheduled for the next three tendays.
Murphy: What about charter?
Panel 2
Close 2-shot of the Agent and Murphy.
Agent: For knocking around the Jove system, and even to Ceres or Mars, sure.
Agent: But Saturn's over 2 billion klicks away now, and falling farther behind relative to us, and any boat with that kind of range would require at least a 2-million augram deposit.
Panel 3
Murphy is downcast, the Agent is sympathetic.
Murphy: I … don't have that much money.
Agent: I'm sorry, hon …
Agent: Is there anything else I can do for you?
Panel 4
Murphy looks at the Agent sadly.
Murphy: Can you ... line up an itinerary to L-5 City for me?
