Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
A couple of Chinese 'Underground Railroad' members introduce Robyn to Robert 'Bobcat' Katzman, a space pilot. Bobcat is on the large side, thought not as large as Sajjan, and has a big curly mop of dark-blond hair and a half-beard.

Caption (Robyn): My Underground Railroad protectors introduced me to Robert Katzman, owner/operator of the Wandering Jew, a tramp steamer out of Ceres.
Caption: Everybody calls him 'Bobcat.'

Panel 2
Bobcat walks through an airlock leading to his ship, with Robyn following behind, carrying a small rucksack. She turns to wave good-bye to her UR benefactors..
Caption (Robyn): Bobcat was headed for Vesta, but was willing to make a stop at Ceres where I'd be dropped off.
Panel 3
Bobcat shows Robyn to a very small, private cabin with a sleeping cocoon, a compartment for her belongings, and a tiny sink with a mirror.
Caption (Robyn): 'I was apprehensive at first, traveling with a strange man, but I had my own private space and Bobcat was a perfect gentleman.'
Panel 4
Exterior view of the Wandering Jew blasting away from the Moon.

Robyn (thought, from inside the ship): If this ain't flying 'up, up to the sky,' I don't know what is.

Panel 5
In the control cabin of the Wandering Jew, Bobcat monitors his instruments while Robyn, in the co-pilot's seat, gazes out a port-hole.

Caption (Robyn): 'The Underground Railroad had given me some clothes, a T-comm, and several grams of gold.

Caption: 'I was supposed to find someone named Reggie King once I got to Ceres.

Panel 6
Robyn in the Ceres Spaceport Terminal, shuffling along with difficulty in the low gravity, rucksack slung over her shoulder.

Caption (Robyn): During my time with the Underground Railroad people and then with Bobcat, over a year's worth of stress had melted away.

Panel 7
Robyn is walking (still with some difficulty) along a causeway, unaware of a shadowy figure that has appeared behind her.

Caption: For the first time since my arrest in Singapore, I felt safe.
