Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 1032
Panel 1The girls standing before the monitor, trying to solve the riddle before them.
Murphy: What about radio transmissions? Can you hear the Network?
Nicole: That's another thing. All it recorded was static.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of the girls, looking horrified.
Murphy: Static! But that would mean.
Nicole: In this universe, there's no civilization.
Murphy: But why? It only went 200 delta-hamids out! There was a thriving civilization two hundred T-years ago!
Panel 3
A different two-shot of the girls, Nicole is moving her hands across the control board.
Nicole: I don't know – maybe it was one of the Mercorp wars, or maybe a nearby supernova hit us with a beta-beam ...
Murphy: Did you record broad-spectrum? Try to digitally enhance the longer-wave bands.
Panel 4
Close two-shot of the girls, Nicole's eyes wide, Murphy looking incredulous.
Nicole: Wait … I got something …
Nicole: It's the time-code broadcast from L-5 City!
Nicole: The time is … 17:21 hours, 19 March … this can't be right ...
Murphy: … Five fifty-six? That's almost twelve years ago!
