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 1048
Panel 1We see the frigate descending towards a military-looking compound. A city skyline in the distance.
Caption (Murphy): 'GENSAXWAL had tracked the frigate to a prison complex 70 klicks south of the city of Xi'an, in north-central China.'
Panel 2
Overview of the prison complex. A large building with four major wings surrounded by a few out-buildings, including a landing pad and hangar, and a perimeter wall dotted with guard towers. The perimeter is carved into the side of a large mountain.
Caption (Murphy): 'Móu Gòu Kòu Shèshī, a 'facility' built into the mountains above a remote village which is its namesake.
Caption: 'It is rumored to be a bio-weapons facility, but that is a ruse to keep the curious away.'
Panel 3
Featuring a schematic image of the central building.
Caption (Murphy): 'In fact it is a weapons facility, but not of that sort.
Caption: 'It is where Wokka-DNG-Hoy takes shanghaied scientists and forces them to develop a variety of advanced technologies.'
Panel 4
Back to Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Huh. The East Terrans are not generally known for advanced technology. They mostly copy everyone else.
Murphy: Yes, of course. You can't force creative genius.
Murphy: But this is a lesson Wokka-DNG-Hoy's executives can't seem to accept.
