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 84
Panel 1Exterior, the Helio-Flyer arcing away from the Sun, which is still almost large enough to fill the frame.
Caption: Accelerating hard against the Sun's gravity, the Helio-Flyer pulls away from that nuclear furnace and towards its rendezvous with Mercury.
Panel 2
In the cockpit, Nicole stares straight ahead through glowing eyes. Take in enough that we can still see the wires coming out of her suit's fore-arm and plugged into the side panel.
Caption: With the ship's control systems off-line, Nicole must control the craft via her cortical implant.
Panel 3
Closer shot on Nicole, we can see the strain in her face.
Caption: The implant has no 'auto-pilot' function, so she must stay awake and alert for the next 29.5 hours.
Caption: Nicole commands her bio-suit to pump her full of stimulants.
Panel 4
Exterior shot, the Helio-Fllyer zooms away into space. Mercury is one of the brighter dots in the distance.
Nicole (thought): Next time I do something like this, I want a bio-suit stocked with whiskey.
