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.
Referral Contest Update [ Jun 17, 2021 ]
UPDATE: Art in progress
We could use your help getting more people to contribute to our campaign. So, we're launching a referral contest. The campaign backer whose referrals raise the most money for our campaign, will win a one-of-a-kind ink-on-paper drawing of Alyss, Hugo and Murphy, drawn and water-colored by QUANTUM VIBE creator Scott Bieser!
At right is a "study" (in the art biz, a sort of practice run on the final drawing) of what you might win: Alyss, Hugo and Murphy enjoying a rare vacation on Nuveau Mo'orea. Scott is still working on it while he's not making the strip, and we plan to reveal works in progress very soon. It will be a unique creation a real QUANTUM VIBE fan would love to have.
You must have an IndieGogo account to participate. Go to this page for more info on how to participate.
Get started now. The campaign ends, July 5th, 2021.
Transcript For Strip 21
Panel 1In the Castle Hodge-Podge reception room, Seamus and Nicole continue their interview.
Seamus: But enough about us, let me tell you about the project I need you to help with.
Seamus: I'm running an experiment to help me refine our knowledge of quantum vibremonics.
Panel 2
Nicole looks a bit crestfallen.
Nicole: Quantum vibremonics? Um, I do have a physics background but that's a highly advanced field. I'm afraid I don't know anything about it.
Panel 3
Seamus flashes a toothy grin.
Seamus: Excellent!
Seamus: The last thing I need is another so-called 'expert' second-guessing what I'm doing.
Panel 4
Nicole brightens and Seamus explains.
Seamus: I need someone competent to help me use some equipment and a quick enough study to learn what she needs to along the way.
Panel 5
Seamus indicates a viewscreen on the far wall, which now displays a not-to-scale diagram of the Sol System, with a bright line indicating a route running from planet to planet.
Seamus: Also, you should travel well – we'll be visiting Mercury, Venus, Luna, Mars, Vesta, Europa, and Titan.
Panel 6
Looking past Seamus at Nicole, who has brightened considerably.
Seamus: What do you think?
Nicole: I think this is just the adventure I've been looking for.
Panel 7
Seamus scratches his nose thoughtfully.
Seamus: Adventure. Well, yes, I suppose.
Seamus: There is one other thing ...
Panel 8
Medium close-up on Nicole, her smile transforming into a grimmace.
Seamus (OP): You'll need to pilot a Helio-flyer under the Solar Corona, and drop an explosive package.
Seamus: Can you pilot a Helio-flyer?
