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 1) - By Scott Bieser

QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 971

Panel 1
Nicole and Murphy sitting together on the bed in their stateroom, conversing via thoughtsend. Their projected clothing is different, indicating a new day.
Murphy: All right, you've set up your accounts as I suggested, right? You'll be out of contact for quite some time.
Nicole: Yes, I did. I don't understand why all this cloak-and-dagger stuff, though.

Panel 2
Closer on Murphy and Nicole.
Murphy: No dagger, just cloak.
Murphy: And it's for operational security. You should understand that by now.
Nicole: But wouldn't Johanna already know about, you know, the secret stash?

Panel 3
Cut to a view of the room from the corridor, their door closed.
Murphy (OP): Remember we're talking about Lord Paranoid here. Seamus didn't even tell Johanna everything.
Murphy (OP): And it's a good thing, too. He's the one who found the monitoring device in that smart-suit Johanna gave you.
Nicole (voiced): WHAT!!!
Panel 4
Back inside the room, Nicole is shocked, Murphy is chuckling.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Relax. He disabled it at dinner the first night.
Murphy (thoughtsend): This might be why he paid you your fee a couple of days early.
