Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1322
Panel 1In a lounge, Zander and Elric are sitting at a table. Zander has some tools out and is working on Elric's hand. Lupin is lounging on a sofa nearby.
Elric: It still doesn't grip as strongly as I want it to.
Zander: I can improve that a bit with some more adjustments.
Zander: This pause before we go planetside has at least one benefit.
Panel 2
Zander is holding up his artificial hand, making a fist around the index finger of his other hand.
Elric: That's a bit better. It's too bad I can't really feel through this thing.
Zander: I'm afraid that sort of haptic feedback is a bit beyond my skill.
Elric: You still did a great job, considering.
Panel 3
Zander and Elric turn to look at Lupin, who is speaking.
Lupin: What you need is a real hand. The fleshy kind.
Elric: Yeah, like I could grow a new hand.
Zander: Maybe you can, in Oz.
Panel 4
Elric turns in surprise towards Zander.
Elric: Are you serious?
Zander: Completely. I've been there a bit longer, and I've seen some pretty amazing things.
Zander: These people live for centuries. There seems to be little that's beyond them.
Panel 5
Different angle on the trio.
Lupin: Too bad Roaz didn't offer to grow you a new hand while we were in Oz.
Zander: We only had a couple of days there. I have no idea how long it would take to grow a new hand.
Zander: But I'm sure you can get that done when we return.
Panel 6
Yet another angle.
Lupin: That's assuming we do return.
Lupin: Roaz was not all that reassuring that we won't fail here.
Zander: No, she wasn't. But at least she was honest.
Lupin: I just hope she's capable.
