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.
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.
Transcript For Strip 1006
Panel 1Barely visible, a dark, highly reflective, flattened spheroid arcs underneath Saturn's southern pole.
Voice 1 from spheroid: Both the EM shield and mass detector are working like champs.
Voice 2 from spheroid: Course correction successful, Brigid is now tracking Course Beta.
Panel 2
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Won't our shield silhouette against Saturn, or the Sun? Someone could spot us.
Murphy: I chose this course to avoid getting in the line of sight from any known observatory in the Saturn system.
Panel 3
A tactical illustration of the girls' course arcing over the ecliptic plane, across the system from Saturn to their destination on the far side of Sol. Murphy is in a cameo.
Murphy: Also, we will spend most of our time well above the ecliptic plane rather than in it, so no one is going to see us silhouetted against Sol.
Panel 4
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: That's great. But I'm worried about this 'gravity drive' we're using. Has it been tested at all?
Murphy: The prototype worked fine. Where's your sense of adventure?
