Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 [ Apr 24, 2022 ]
Starting Monday 4-25-2022, with part 3 of QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War, each strip installment has been extended to have six panels rather than four. We believe this will enable a smoother, fuller story flow for the reader. We will also be limiting uploads of QUANTUM VIBE to one installment per week so Scott has time to develop a new spin-off strip, Not-Safe.
Not-Safe will be a NSFW strip set in the Assimulation galaxy depicted in Volume 5, with Eithne Lamdagan as the central character. Our hope is it will bring in enough money so Scott can hire a colorist again and he can start producing more QUANTUM VIBE strips. More info coming soon.
Transcript For Strip 2061
Panel 1Hugo and Murphy pause in the doorway to their hopper as they watch and listen to Alyss arguing with the other Pillars.
Alyss (OP): It doesn't matter if you don't like Hugo. It doesn't really even matter if you trust his judgement.
Alyss: But we're in a state of WAR with someone we can't even identify at the present.
Alyss: We are at a serious disadvantage here, my friends.
Panel 2
Alyss, making her case to the other Pillars. We see Jorge and Enrique looking thoughtful.
Alyss: Our enemy knew enough about us and our defenses to know how to hit and hurt us, badly.
Alyss: Sure, we can shore up those defenses, and I have confidence in Dominic and our brain-trust's abilities to defend against another attack like the last one.
Panel 3
Focus on Kofi and Lorelei, looking thoughtful.
Alyss: But what if the next attack is of a different kind?
Alyss: The enemy has had time to study us and learn of our defenses, and can anticipate our next moves.
Alyss: We need, if you'll pardon the cliché, a 'secret weapon.'
Panel 4
Back to Hugo and Murphy, exchanging knowing glances.
Alyss (OP): Hugo and Murphy are the best 'secret weapons' we could have.
Alyss: They are superb chaos-agents, and our enemy is not aware of their presence here.
Alyss: They are just the sort of advantage we need to win this thing.
