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 1974
Panel 1Another angle on the three friends. Diana is groping at her midsection under the blanket.
Diana: Ha! You've seen me at my worst, so that's fair. Now, why can't I move my legs? Do I still have legs?
Diana: Oh good, but … I have a catheter?
Doctor Gorveth: (OP) DON'T MESS WiTH THAT!
Panel 2
Looking past Diana to see Doctor Gorveth coming through the doorway. Gorveth looks a lot like Nurse Ilenil, except a bit older and different colored hair.
Gorveth: Your 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae were severely damaged.
Gorveth: I had to paralyze you from the chest down so you won't move while the nanites reconstruct those bones.
Gorveth: Should only take another day.
Panel 3
Diana looks askance at the doctor.
Diana: Uh … Nurse Ilenil?
Gorveth: No, that's my daughter. I'm Doctor Gorveth and Alyss here likes to call me whenever she gets a hangnail.
Gorveth: Or at least, she used to.
Panel 4
Diana smiles as the two old friends trade bon-mots.
Alyss: You kept my old meat-bod patched up well enough. Except when my brain caught fire.
Gorveth: Too bad I wasn't on Zytemonde with you. I could have toasted some marshmallows.
Alyss: Well, now you get to practice your quackery on my grand-kids. So don't feel deprived.
