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 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 154
Panel 1Exterior of the shuttle, accelerating. We can see a thick laser beam directed at a spot between its twin rocket engines.
Pilot (inside shuttle): Clearly your EM-shield doesn't affect visible light.
Seamus: It was designed not to.
Seamus: Can you gauge the power of that laser?
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, Pilot and Seamus.
Pilot: Approximately 5 gigawatts ...
Pilot: Enough to overwhelm my baffle-plating and cause an engine shut-down in about 10 minutes.
Seamus: Very well then.
Panel 3
Nicole with her display, and Seamus in the right background.
Seamus: Nicole, touch the top left icon, and in the requester set the range to 55 meters.
Panel 4
Exterior – the shuttle is now surrounded by a reflective cocoon. The laser is reflected off of it.
Pilot: The laser is gone, but so are the stars.
Pilot: If it weren't for your gravitic sensor I'd be flying completely blind now.
