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
In the Mess Hall again, although it is now lunch time. Sajjan sitting across from Robyn; they converse as they eat.

Caption: Lunch time:

Sajjan: Look Robyn, on Thursday, I will be near.

Sajjan: I have a buddy who cleans up in the Tower Control security office.

Sajjan: He has 'liberated' an impressive collection of entry badges and access codes – just in case.

Panel 2
Close-up on Sajjan, glancing at Robyn as he raises a spoon full of something to his mouth.

Sajjan: So for Phase I, he has promised to get me into Tower Control and into a utility closet on Norman's residential floor by 23:00.

Sajjan: So take your time putting on your pretty.

Panel 3
In the right background, the kids at their table; in the left foreground, we see a Yard Guard strolling by, not paying attention.

Sajjan: The eclipse starts at 23:21 and goes on for about an hour and 45 minutes, close to the theoretical maximum duration, but I don't think you have that long.

Panel 4
Elevated view of the two kids at the table. Sajjan has taken both of Robyn's hands in his.

Sajjan: Norman will probably start getting randy once the eclipse has started. That's where Phase II comes into play.

Panel 5
Extreme close-up of one of Robyn's hands, as Sajjan lifts his hand off of it, revealing a small, folded-up piece of paper. Robyn is already starting to close her fingers over it.

Sajjan: That's a little something I got off of another buddy.

Sajjan: I've been making … how do you say ..strategic alliances with key people.

Panel 6
Medium shot of Sajjan, speaking quietly as he eats. Leave extra room for dialog.

Sajjan: This guy synthesizes hallucinogenic drugs from organic materials, solvents and Vahiguru knows what else.

Sajjan: Spike Norman's drink with the powder in that paper, and he will be crazy for hours.

Sajjan: In Phase III, I get you and the other girl – if she wants – off the floor and back down to the general population.

Panel 7
Medium two-shot of both the kids. Robyn has pocketed the paper packet.

Sajjan: If we're lucky, it will look as though Norman has had a psychotic breakdown.

Robyn: And if we aren't lucky?

Panel 8
Another two-shot from a bit farther away.

Sajjan: I doubt we will like it.

Sajjan: I'm not even sure we will survive it.

Sajjan: I don't know about you, but I'm praying for divine intervention.
