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
Inside Wally's room again, Wally is still at his computer. He looks a big haggard, dark circles under his eyes. He's been at this for many hours. At some point in this sequence, we'll see a photo of his dead friend Billy, from happier days.
Wally: Computer – using data assembled from Examiner pages, compile input arrival schedules for ships from Terra, Mars, Luna, Vesta, Pallas, and, uh, Planetoid 51384.
SFX: b-deep

Panel 2
Looking past the holoscreen at Wally. It has several 'windows' open but we can't really see what's in them. He's looking a bit tense.
Wally: Computer – Cross-reference dates and cycles with incident dates from file, 'Spaceportmuggings.odb.'
SFX: b-deep

Panel 3
Again looking past holo-screen at Wally, from a different angle. He's looking even more tense.
Wally: Computer – Compile list of ships in port simultaneous with the mugging incidents.
SFX: b-deep

Panel 4
Medium close-up of Wally – now he's biting his lip, and one eye is twitching.
Wally: Computer -- now project the most likely future arrival dates and run cycles based on orbital positions within the next 5 decadays.
SFX: b-deep

Panel 5
Tighter close-up on Wally – now he looks manic, teeth clenched and eyes peering over lower eye-lids. Beads of sweat stand out on his face.
Wally: I've almost got you now!

Panel 6
Outside Wally's bedroom, Wally's door flings open and Wally dashes right by his parents, who are still standing there. (Actually, considering Cererean gravity, he practically flies.)
Wally: Make a hole!

Panel 7
Wally dashes into another room. Through the doorway we can see a toilet and maybe some other bathroom fixtures.
SFX: Whoosh!

Panel 8
Cut back to where his parents are standing, they're both looking in the direction their son went.
Wally (OP): Aahhhhhhh!!
Mary-Francis: No, no bucket.
Gus: Guess not.
