Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]

Transcript For Strip 114
Panel 1In Nicole's hotel room, just Nicole and Agent Stone now. Stone is trying to comfort Nicole.
Stone: There are security cameras that should have recorded what happened.
Stone: If what you're saying is true, you were entirely within your rights.
Nicole: I know, I know ...
Panel 2
Close 2-shot of Stone and Nicole.
Nicole: You have to understand … when I got my first zringer, I also joined the Aikido-Lemba League.
Stone: You obtained a deadly weapon and then joined a pacifist phyle?
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Nicole.
Nicole: It's more complicated than that – the Lembas allow for self-defense.
Nicole: It's just that we … they urge using wisdom to avoid having to use force.
Nicole: Avoiding violence is considered 'winning.'
Panel 4
Back to 2-shot of Stone and Nicole, looking completely forlorn.
Nicole: Because I failed to avoid using violence – especially deadly force – I lost.
Nicole: I'm not a Lemba-Prime anymore.
