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 117
Panel 1Nicole and Seamus continue walking through a corridor, their suitcases following in their wake.
Seamus: So you don't like secrecy?
Seamus: You don't understand how vital it is to keep trade secrets in a world as both highly-competitive and highly-communicative as ours?
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Nicole, glancing sideways at Seamus.
Nicole: Of course I do. Especially after that first job interview.
Nicole: When you told me things about me even my mother doesn't know, I felt like I'd been stripped naked.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus. Seamus looks thoughtful.
Nicole: But I think I've earned your confidence in these matters, don't you?
Seamus: I suppose you're right. But I can't tell you here and now.
Panel 4
The two emerge from a corridor into a busy concourse.
Seamus: We need to find an ultra-secure location, and there isn't one available to us on Mercury.
Seamus: But I promise you that before we leave Venus, I will tell you everything you want to know. Deal?
