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 157
Panel 1Inside the shuttle, the Pilot, Nicole and Seamus.
Pilot: The gravitic sensor shows the bogey has stopped accelerating, and now we're pulling away at 90 meters per second.
Seamus: Nicole, I think you can safely lower the laser shield now.
Panel 2
Pilot, peering at his console.
Pilot: I can see it now on the aft viewer.
Pilot: It's a Huweijian Wu-nian-class ship … and it looks completely inert.
Panel 3
Exterior of the shuttle – the laser shield is gone, the EM-shield is so large we can't see it in the frame. The bogey is now barely visible in the background.
Seamus (from shuttle): All right Nicole, I think we can safely kill the EM-shield now.
Nicole: Dropping EM-shield.
Panel 4
Shuttle interior, Pilot gazes at his console as Seamus looks on.
Pilot: I'm getting a radar reflection consistent with that class of ship, but ...
Pilot: There's no other energy signature. All of her systems are dead.
