Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 1569
Panel 1External view of the Causa Sui. The alien ship is approaching.
Murphy (from CS, thoughtsending): This one is a fair bit smaller than the last ship we encountered. Not quite half a megatonne. Still bigger than we are.
Hugo (from CS, thoughtsending): And all these years you've told me that size doesn't matter.
Panel 2
Cut to the command deck of Causa Sui. Murphy is by herself , looking at the screen.
Murphy (thoughtsending): I only said that to make you feel better.
Hugo (OP thoughtsending): So then my 'enhancement' was more a gift for you than me?
Murphy (thoughtsending): Whatever. Just the same, I've raised shield power to 98 percent.
Panel 3
Now we see the main viewer, with the alien ship large within the viewfield.
Hugo (OP thoughtsending): What are they doing now?
Murphy (thoughtsending): Well, they haven't hailed us yet. They seem to just be looking us over.
Murphy (thoughtsending): I strongly suspect they're not Gluteans.
