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.

Quantum Vibe: Nicole - By Scott Bieser w/Zeke Bieser

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter! [ Mar 9, 2026 ]

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.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 117

Panel 1
Nicole and Seamus continue walking through a corridor, their suitcases following in their wake.
Seamus: So you don't like secrecy?
Seamus: You don't understand how vital it is to keep trade secrets in a world as both highly-competitive and highly-communicative as ours?

Panel 2
Medium close-up on Nicole, glancing sideways at Seamus.
Nicole: Of course I do. Especially after that first job interview.
Nicole: When you told me things about me even my mother doesn't know, I felt like I'd been stripped naked.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus. Seamus looks thoughtful.
Nicole: But I think I've earned your confidence in these matters, don't you?
Seamus: I suppose you're right. But I can't tell you here and now.

Panel 4
The two emerge from a corridor into a busy concourse.
Seamus: We need to find an ultra-secure location, and there isn't one available to us on Mercury.
Seamus: But I promise you that before we leave Venus, I will tell you everything you want to know. Deal?
