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: This Means War (Part 1) - By Scott Bieser

QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 2092

Panel 1
More chatter:
Jerome: To summarize:
Jerome: Anxiety levels are still higher than normal, but the success of Deslocação Dinámico in diverting the second missile has had a calming effect.
Jerome: So far there is little to no sentiment for changing the established order here, beyond the usual outliers.

Panel 2
Focus on the image of Jean-Luc on the flip-phone.
Jean-Luc: This was not unexpected. We will need to step up our game.
Jean-Luc: Based on your interviews, what would you recommend?
Jerome: Clearly assaults from outside are not very productive.
Panel 3
Focus on Jerome
Jerome: The city is well-hardened against external attacks, and they can adapt quickly, as we have seen.
Jerome: Not to mention, inasmuch as our sponsors also have valuable physical assets here, chewing up great chunks of the city is likely more costly than necessary.


Panel 4
A silhouetted figure is looking at a pair of monitors containing the images of both Jerome and Jean-Luc.
Jean-Luc: Agreed. So what then?
Jerome: The next attack needs to come from the inside.
Jerome: The city is more vulnerable internally, and a well-planned strike could divide the populace.
