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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 419
Panel 1The quartet at their table in the restaurant. They have drinks but their food has not yet been served.
Nicole: So who are these 'heirs' we're going to meet at this party?
Seamus: Tong Xie Po and Ma Bo Nu.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Seamus and Ventura. Seamus glances sideways at Ventura as he speaks. Ventura seems oblivious.
Seamus: They are heirs to the estate of the late Po Xu-ke, an old friend of mine.
Seamus: Po made major advances in life-extension technology, where he made his fortune.
Panel 3
The quartet at their table. Seamus looks downcast.
Nicole: Kind of ironic. Why didn't he do a rejuvenation, instead of letting himself die?
Seamus: I ... I don't know. His explanation was ... too cryptic
Panel 4
Nicole lays a hand on Seamus', in a gesture of sympathy.
Nicole: I'm sorry for being insensitive.
Nicole: It must be difficult, a man of your years, losing the friends of your youth.
Seamus: You don't know the half of it.
