To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1471
Panel 1Eithne is lounging in her own quarters, sipping a drink and gazing at a holographic screen being projected on the wall next to her bed. In the center we see a blue-green-white, Terra-like world. Two small moons also in the frame. All are in quarter-phase.
Eithne (thought): Might as well spend the time looking around this star-system.
Eithne: Hmmm. That's the planet those transmissions are coming from.
Eithne: Looks a lot like Gabriola … or the way Terra used to.
Panel 2
Closer focus on the holoscreen, with Eithne visible in the lower left. The screen shows a diagram of the double-star system.
Eithne (thought): So, two class-G stars, orbiting not quite 300 gigameters apart.
Eithne: Two asteroid belts, one of them a 'figure-eight' like the Alpha Kentauri system's.
Eithne: One small, rocky world orbiting very close to the larger star ...
Panel 3
Medium shot of Eithne, looking bored already.
Eithne (thought): … Nine more planets orbiting both stars, from 720 gigs to 15.5 terameters out from the barycenter.
Eithne: The target planet is the innermost … the weather must be quite interesting.
Eithne: I wonder what that world's people call their home.
Eithne: Probably something like 'pbbt-pfft-plfft-ptdb.'
