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
Smaller of three panels. Tobi is speaking to Ernie and Bert (we can also see Mac and maybe Nisa, do a line-of-sight angle or something to get everyone in a smaller space.

Tobi: Elements in the Pakistani Sector government put out a contract on Ali Abdur Khan, a wealthy Martian who was funding anti-government forces back on Terra.

Panel 2
Largest panel, the monitor displays a street scene of Nya Darra Adam Khel, a Pashtun colony on Mars. Show shops in the background. [The town is located in a crater under an airskin. It should look vaguely arabic, but with modern elements. Think of Moss Isley (the town where the cantina was located) in Star Wars.] In the middle ground left, Johnson is spraying a crowd of people in the foreground-right with .50 calibre machine gun fire. I don't know if Sandy has a particular weapon in mind here. [.50 calibre machine guns are usually tripod mounted, so we need Johnson on/in some sort of vehicle with something like following mounted on it:
It should be shown that the machine gun was previously hidden in some way, perhaps under a tarp.] In the crowd of victims should be one 40-ish and very well-dressed fellow – the intended victim – and a variety of others, men, women, older children who are caught in the sweep of fire.

Tobi: Johnson took the contract, but did a really sloppy cowboy hit.


Panel 3
Smallest of 3 panels. Could be an inset into Panel 2. Johnson, standing about 15 feet away, calmly fires directly at the viewer.

Tobi: Apparently he didn't have time to grab the camera, which is why we have this video.
