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 673
Panel 1Nicole and Antigone are walking along a hotel corridor. Behind them is Murphy, encased in a Bubb which is following them.
Caption: Following a stop back at Stone's ship to retrieve Murphy:
Antigone: Where do you think she kept her back-up storage?
Nicole: I'm not certain.
Panel 2
They enter the girls' apartment.
Antigone: Did she have any kind of suitcase or carry bag?
Nicole: I never saw one, but maybe she hid it with a holofield the way I usually do with my carry-all belt.
Panel 3
Antigone looks around the room. We see the overstuffed chair Murphy often sat in, next to Nicole's bed.
Antigone: Where did she spend her downtime?
Nicole: Sometimes in that overstuffed chair, and sometimes … uh … in bed with me.
Panel 4
Antigone looks at Nicole, who is blushing again, flustered.
Nicole: I get nightmares sometimes, from what happened on Luna, all right?
Antigone: I'm not judging you.
Panel 5
Antigone is looking around the overstuffed chair.
Antigone: I'm not seeing anything that could be a storage unit.
Antigone: Could Seamus be keeping one for her?
Panel 6
Antigone and Nicole. Nicole is looking thoughtful, troubled.
Nicole: I suppose he could.
Nicole: But that would mean she wasn't doing daily back-ups.
Nicole: Seamus has been holed up in his room the last 5 days, doing dawk-knows-what.
Panel 7
Now Nicole and Antigone, with Murphy still floating in the Bubb, are outside the door to Seamus' room.
Nicole: Seamus! Let us in! Murphy needs you!
Seamus (from inside): Later! I'm busy!
Panel 8
Nicole glances angrily at Antigone, who is a study in stoicism.
Nicole: When we get in there, can I kick him in the balls?
Antigone: I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
