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 125
Panel 1Nicole and Abdi continue their tour of the ship, walking along another corridor.
Nicole: So, 'senior engineer' implies there's also a junior engineer?
Abdi: Yes, that would be Enrique Gomez. He trades shifts with Jayesh and is in sleep time now.
Panel 2
Nicole and Abdi continue walking – we can see a shadow of someone approaching from a side-corridor.
Nicole: And that's your ship's complement? Four men, no women?
Abdi: We do have one female, in a manner of speaking.
Panel 3
At the intersection, Nicole and Abdi encounter a femiform android, rather scantily clad, with vaguely asiatic/elfin features.
Abdi: And here she is.
Abdi: This is Hitomi, the ship's … courtesan.
Panel 4
Three-shot of Nicole, Abdi and Hitomi. Nicole looks dubious, Abdi looks a bit embarrassed, Hitomi is smiling sweetly.
Nicole: 'Courtesan'?
Hitomi: Hooker, whore, floozy, doxie … just don't call me a geisha, I hate that.
