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.
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 568
Panel 1Seamus, Commander Vedadi and Nicole in the viewing room. Seamus practically sneers at Vedadi.
Seamus: Commander Vedadi, I presume you came to explain how it came to pass that a member of your crew attempted to hijack me, and inflicted grievous damage on my arti-folk companion.
Vedadi: Yess, well, um ...
Panel 2
Medium shot of Vedadi, trying to explain.
Vedadi: We did check Ensign McCaine's bona-fidess when we signed him on at Voltaire, and they were solid.
Vedadi: But when we checked to re-confirm yesterday, nobody had ever heard of him.
Vedadi: It's the weirdest thing I ever saw.
Panel 3
Seamus and Vedadi.
Seamus: Then why did none of your alarms go off when my pod was disconnected and the airlock was opened?
Vedadi: It was -- McCaine. He somehow managed to hack into our comm grid and block everything on your deck except the security cameras.
Panel 4
A different angle on Seamus, Vedadi and Nicole. Seamus' ire is increasing. Nicole is rolling her eyes.
Seamus: And there was no inspection or comm check of the pod decks between Voltaire and Port Zuber?
Seamus: Our friend spent all but the first two days of the voyage in a twisted heap alongside my pod!
Vedadi: We ... followed the routine that was established.
