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: Nicole - By Scott Bieser w/Zeke 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 467

Panel 1
In the examination room, Nicole and Buford (Ventura is waiting in the lobby) with Dr. Lee -- a very slender Korean man. Buford, her Anysuit turned off and pulled down to just below her waist, is lying prone on a bench while Lee holds a scanning device over her lower back.
Dr. Lee: Ah yes, lower back stress, very common in Beltapes.
Dr. Lee: Have you ridden in a Tube recently?

Panel 2
Nicole looks embarrassed.
Buford: Yeah, my friend here thought it would be 'interesting.'
Dr. Lee: Well, that is an interesting way of putting it. The tube likely aggravated the stress you already had from local gravity.
Panel 3
Same shot. Nicole looks guilty.
Buford: So, what can be done about it?
Dr. Lee: For now, I can give you steroids for the pain.
Dr. Lee: Also, I can give you nanites to strengthen your Thoracolumbar fascia.

Panel 4
Same shot. Nicole gamely tries levity.
Nicole: I'm all for a stronger Thoracolumbo whatchamacallem!
Buford: Can you give her somet'ing that'll make her talk less?
