Kickstarter Success!

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.

All of this should show up in June.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
The Brothers still standing at the shuttle landing site, considering their situation. Bert on the left, Ernie on the right, patting his left chest with his right hand.
 
Bert: Tell me you have your Bluetooth on?
 
Ernie: Nope, it's right here too.
 
 
Panel 2
Distance shot of the two brothers, from a high angle about 200 yards away. We see some of the curvature of the planetoid Ida, emphasis is on how alone they are on this desolate rock.
 
Ernie: Brother, if we get out of this alive, I am going to upgrade my 'ock' with a built-in Tanglenet comm.
 
Panel 3
Diagrammatic, cut-away side view of Ernie's head, showing the outline of his skull, a tiny 'occipital computer' embedded in the occipital bone in the back of his skull, and some thin wiring leading from the 'ock' to the surface of his brain.
Caption: An 'Ock' is an Occipital Computer, a tiny device implanted in the occipital bone in the back of Ernie's skull. The computer is controlled through a neural interface with his brain. Ocks are becoming increasingly popular among Belters and Martians, because they are very useful. Ernie acquired his some time after meeting Tobikuma Kobayashi on The Little Prince.
