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.
Panel 1
Inside the shuttle, Nicole looks tense, Seamus is looking defensive.
Nicole: So, nobody gets hurt except for a few androids, and they don't count?
Seamus: I didn't say that!
Panel 2
Two-shot of Seamus and the Pilot.
Seamus: I regret very much if anyone, human or android, gets hurt or killed.
Seamus: But we were in an emergency self-defense situation.
Panel 3
Exterior of shuttle, rocketing through space.
Seamus: Don't forget, they fired on us first.
Seamus: And if they are who I think they are, they would not have spared any of us had they captured us.
Panel 4
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus. Nicole looks worried, Seamus looks back at her darkly.
Nicole: Who do you think they are?
Seamus: Wokka-DNG-Hoy, or someone employed by them.
