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 2220
Panel 1Cut to: Interior of the dry-dock housing Eva Jeanne. Dialog comes from inside the ship.
Caption: At the dry-dock housing Alyss Roaz' ship, the Eva Jeanne, the next day:
Sheldon: … So eventually they formed three groups: one for boosting public morale, one for victim support, and one for light combat training and street-level intel.
Alyss: We need better strategies for dealing with saboteurs.
Panel 2
Alyss is at her workstation aboard the ship, conversing with Sheldon Rico, who is on her main screen. Michael is nearby.
Sheldon: More and more I am hearing suggestions to abandon our customs regarding privacy and set up a centralized surveillance and tracking system.
Alyss: No! We must never go down that path!
Panel 3
Focus on Alyss
Alyss: In my 535 years I've seen too many once-free societies end themselves by surrendering liberty in pursuit of safety.
Alyss: They wound up with neither. New Anarkia, El Verdor, Novo México, L-5 City, The Republic of Luna, the United States of America. All gone.
Panel 4
Same scene new angle including Michael
Michael: Yeah and don't forget Galt's Planetoid.
Alyss (to Michael): You promised not to mention Galt's Planetoid again.
