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 124
Panel 1Abdi leads Nicole into a large room full of pipes, cylindrical tanks, and scattered control panels. We see another man (his back to us) attending one of the control panels. Now Nichole looks more interested.
Abdi: This is our main engineering section – or at least, as much as one can enter without protective gear.
Panel 2
Abdi and Nicole approach the man at the control panel. The man turns to greet Nicole – he is lanky and dark-skinned, black hair.
Abdi: This is Jayesh Patel, our senior engineer.
Jayesh: What? Oh, one of our passengers. Hello there.
Panel 3
Nicole looks more interested in the machinery than in the men.
Nicole: Wow, is this a two-stage singularity drive? I didn't know any were still in service.
Jayesh: Yeah, well, I've modified things quite a bit. Hardly factory standard.
Panel 4
Jayesh grins as he makes a joke, but Abdi and Nicole roll their eyes.
Jayesh: And she can make the Kessel Run in Twelve Parsecs.
Nicole: Oh, geez, that joke was old when my boss was in diapers.
