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.
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.
Transcript For Strip 168
Panel 1Establishing exterior, Pellucidar Station – actually a floating city, held aloft by enormous gas bags. The bags contain an oxygen-mix of gasses that provide breathable air and lift for the gigantic structure. An atmo-shuttle descends toward the station.
Pilot (from aboard the craft): Passengers please remain seated until we complete docking with Pellucidar Station.
Nicole (from aboard the craft): They should really call it Pellucidar City.
Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole seated on the shuttle, which has passenger seating for 16. Seamus takes up 2 seats on the left of the central aisle in the front row, while Nicole is in a single seat across the aisle, looking out the window. There are seven or eight other passengers seated behind them.
Seamus: There's a sentiment that it should remain a 'Station' until Venus is finally terra-formed and the whole array becomes land-bound.
Nicole: I kind of like it this way.
Panel 3
Tighter 2-shot of Seamus and Nicole. Nicole is looking a bit sullen. Seamus doesn't notice because he's looking out his own window.
Seamus: One thing I've learned in my centuries of life, is that human communities only thrive when they're changing.
Seamus: Without dynamism, they wither, rot, and eventually die.
Panel 4
Nicole talks to Seamus but doesn't look at him.
Nicole: Change is painful sometimes.
Seamus: Indeed, it can be.
Seamus: But more often than not, I find the rewards worth the cost.
