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.

Diagram showing how the Sun-Shooter ships flew in a great arc so as to catch up with the Helio-Flyer about 2/3 of its own arc coming in to Mercury from the Sun.
Caption: Meanwhile, the Sun-Shooter flotilla had managed to arc around and match vectors with Nicole's Helio-Flyer.
Panel 3
In the cockpit, we can see Nicole, looking almost zombie-like with dark circles under bloodshot eyes. She is glancing upward to stage right.
Filtered voice: Hailing Nicole Oresme in the Helio-Flyer! This is Jake Offenberg in Lucky Star, and company.
Jake: How ya holdin' up?
Panel 4
Exterior view, sowing cyber-Nicole, appearing to fly backward, although her head is turned 180 degrees around so she can see where she's going. She glances over her shoulder at a bright light that dominates its part of the star field.
