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.
We Made It! [ Jun 2, 2022 ]
Third try, as they say, is a charm.
The crowdfunding campaign for QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War Part 2 made its goal one day before the closing, and climbed a bit over the top in the final day.
Over the next week Scott will design the back cover and assemble the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books (as well as the cards and T-shirts) on hand in the second half of June and will ship them out to backers ASAP.
(The e-book version will also be released by then and we'll announce that date when we have it locked down.)
Transcript For Strip 2068
Panel 1Stern, alone in the room, broods.
Stern (thought bubbles throughout): I mean, it couldn't have been Zondra, could it?
Stern: She's just a bimbo. A cute but kind of weird and pudding-brained play-toy.
Stern: A play-toy who … was pudding-brained enough to record our … sessions.
Stern: And then black-mail me.
Panel 2
Stern, pondering
Stern: How would I help them find her, anyway?
Stern: All I have is the number of a bank account I'm supposed to transmit my payments to.
Stern: I could find out where that is, but if it's chartered in the City, then would secrecy laws shield the account owner?
Panel 3
Stern, looking despondent.
Stern: If I tell the Coronel about the black-mail, my name will become synonymous with ‶sexual deviant idiot.″
Stern: My friends will just laugh at me, and my family might disown me anyway.
Stern: And to think I joined Relógio Céu so that my family and friends would be proud of me.
Panel 4
Stern looking even more despondent.
Stern: But what if … I talk in my sleep, or something?
Stern: Or she might have stolen the codes from me, somehow?
Stern: Then, I'm partly to blame for all those deaths, because I failed in my job.
Stern: I might as well be a traitor.
