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 149
Panel 1Exterior of the shuttle still docked to the Staisiún.
Pilot (from inside the shuttle): We are ready to un-dock.
Seamus (from inside shutttle): Pilot, please hold.
Seamus: Nicole, you should now have an integrated visual interface
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, looking over Nicole's shoulder at 'Watson.' The display screen shows something like an astrogational display, with a central reticle and various icons. It has a 3-D effect so that the display appears a bit in front of Watson's surface.
Nicole: Yeah, I've got a nav display screen going, not too different from the Helio-Flyer's.
Seamus: Good, good. Now, expand the range out to 100 megameters.
Panel 3
Looking through the 3-D display effect at Nicole peering back into it. A large sphere filling about a third of the space represents Venus. There are tiny icons and arcing lines all about.
Nicole: Geez! Venus has a lot of traffic!
Seamus (OP): Now lay in our course to Ishtar Station and see if any of those vectors intersect.
Panel 4
Side-shot of Nicole on the left looking at her display, and Seamus on the right looking puzzled.
Nicole: Not a one. We're clear all the way to Ishtar.
Seamus: Strange. I was sure I'd find them at this point.
