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 87
Panel 1The Helio-Flyer still accelerating away from Sol. Which appears a goodly bit smaller than last time but still almost fills the height of the panel.
Caption: To maintain alertness through 29 hours of monotony, Nicole engages a number of distractions.
Panel 2
Inside the cockpit, Nicole is still lit only by her suit's lights. Translucent fields filled with glowing, arcane, quasi-mathematical inscriptions float about her head.
Caption: She reviews some articles on 'quantum vibremonics' which she had downloaded previously.
Panel 3
Same angle on Nicole but now she is in her cyber-form flying through space as if riding a chopper. Across one section of the starry background there's a wide rectangle filled with a scene containing the same characters as we saw in Strip 41.
Caption: Accessing the Sysnet, she downloads and 'views' the latest episodes of Doosh Goza Ouiselle, Art's My Folly, and Bizarro Neil.
Panel 4
Helio-Flyer zooms away.
Caption: As the hours wear on and she gets more desperate, she links into Ché Nannigan's What You Should Think soapbox program.
Nannigan (filtered): … that them dim damn elves think they can get away with every time every time they open their filthy pie-holes …
Nicole: {grrrrrrrrr}
Caption: The aggravation of such annoying noise helped maintain her edge.
