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 457
Panel 1Still at the breakfast table.
Nicole: So, if we get the signal from you to leave, where do we go? Back to the hotel?
Seamus: No, at least not right away. Peng-Bo's people may look for you there.
Seamus: In fact, you'd be safer leaving this division.
Panel 2
Medium shot on Seamus.
Seamus: Catch a tube to Xin Rizhao -- it's the closest city outside Niuyaorui Division.
Nicole: And do what?
Seamus: Keep your wits about you, and stay visible. You'll be safest in crowds. And wait for my call.
Panel 3
Buford and Nicole grinning, Seamus also smiles.
Nicole: You mean, we should go shopping?
Seamus: Yes, if it's not too much trouble.
Nicole: Oh, we'll manage.
Panel 4
End flashback. The girls' limo is cruising among the towers of Xin Xian. In the foreground left, another flying car is following.
Buford (from limo): So t'e tough go shopping. Do you t'ink Seamus is just a tad paranoid?
Nicole: Sure he is. That's how he managed to live more than three centuries.
