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.

Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3) - By Scott Bieser

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.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 1907

Panel 1
Monty patting one hand on the table, indicating that Diana should sit on it.
Diana: My 'intuition' as you call it is pretty sure that model is the key to why Hayami was murdered.
Monty: That may well be. But right now, we should get you backed-up.
Monty: So, hop up here and let's do this.

Panel 2
Diana is sitting on the table. Monty is handing her a neuro-helmet.
Diana: You know, I'm far from convinced that what gets backed-up is really me.
Monty: Well, it's all of your memories, including those you're not consciously aware of.
Panel 3
Diana is positioning the helmet on her head.
Diana: But is that all we are, the sum total of our memories?
Monty: Oh, we're more than that. Our memories inform the emergent phenomena we call 'personality.'
Diana: But biological bodies are likewise emergent phenomena from billions of years of natural selection, whereas mechanical bodies are human designs.
Panel 4
Diana is now lying supine on the table. Monty is at a console next to the table, making adjustments. Wook is standing by, impassively.
Diana: Well, it may not be true immortality, but it seems like the next-best thing.
Monty: Oh, it's not so bad once you get used to being stronger, faster, and better-looking.
