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.
Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter! [ Mar 9, 2026 ]
UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!
UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.
Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!
(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)
For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.
Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.
Transcript For Strip 154
Panel 1Exterior of the shuttle, accelerating. We can see a thick laser beam directed at a spot between its twin rocket engines.
Pilot (inside shuttle): Clearly your EM-shield doesn't affect visible light.
Seamus: It was designed not to.
Seamus: Can you gauge the power of that laser?
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, Pilot and Seamus.
Pilot: Approximately 5 gigawatts ...
Pilot: Enough to overwhelm my baffle-plating and cause an engine shut-down in about 10 minutes.
Seamus: Very well then.
Panel 3
Nicole with her display, and Seamus in the right background.
Seamus: Nicole, touch the top left icon, and in the requester set the range to 55 meters.
Panel 4
Exterior – the shuttle is now surrounded by a reflective cocoon. The laser is reflected off of it.
Pilot: The laser is gone, but so are the stars.
Pilot: If it weren't for your gravitic sensor I'd be flying completely blind now.
