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 1606
Panel 1Eithne and Ralf running together down a corridor, Eithne a bit in the lead.
Eithne (thought): He's not as fast as I am but fast enough.
Eithne (thought): Once we get past the main junction I can trigger the vacuum alarms.
Panel 2
Eithne and Ralf run through the main junction. A pair of Gluteans are emerging from one of the other corridors and see them.
Eithne (thought): Spotted! Well, I figured as much.
Eithne (thought): And Murphy thinks I waste my time playing virtual commando games.
Eithne (thought): Just a few more meters ...
Panel 3
Eithne and Ralf pass through an archway into another corridor. Alarms flash and the gateway begins to close.
SFX: FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!! FWEEEK!!!
Eithne: That'll keep most of 'em bottled up for at least a kilosec.
Panel 4
A trio of burly Glutean guards block the way ahead.
Eithne (thought): Not all of them, unfortunately.
Eithne (thought): This calls for hyperspeed.
Panel 5
Eithne suddenly darts forward and plants a fist square into the face of one of the gluteans, sending him reeling backward.
Eithne (thought): Up to you now, Ralf.
Panel 6
Ralf has grabbed one of the remaining three Gluteans by the legs and is using him to swat the other two. Eithne looks on from panel's edge
Eithne (thought): Now, there's some poetry in motion.
