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 587
Panel 1At the front counter of an establishment named BesTech Scientific Gear. Murphy is dealing with the store clerk (male standard human), who is looking down at her console display and repeating back Murphy's order. Nicole is standing close-by.
Clerk: Okay, that's one Dickerson Mark III magnetic resonance scanner, one Wilson molecular spectro-analyzer, one laser scalpel, 10 sampler syringes, two pairs of skingloves and ... four forceps?
Murphy: That's correct.
Panel 2
Two-shot of the clerk and Murphy.
Clerk: Very good, ma'am. I'll have these fabbed for you in about 15 minutes.
Clerk: The amount due will be 35 augrams, 12 sils.
Panel 3
Murphy and Nicole confer while the clerk is away filling the order. Murphy is holding up a rucksack.
Nicole: Won't it look suspicious carrying all that stuff into the mortuary?
Murphy: I'll be carrying them in this rucksack I bought down the causeway.
Panel 4
Murphy and Nicole.
Nicole: And the rucksack won't raise eyebrows?
Murphy: I can wear it on my back and hide it in my holo-field. Just like you do with your carry-all belt.
