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 1664
Panel 1Theo continues down a corridor as Murphy and Hugo flank him.
Theo: Our initial scans of this galaxy indicated the networked gravimetric distortions that you no doubt found yourselves.
Theo: We chose to explore a sector dominated by an insectoid species … the Brennir.
Panel 2
Cut scene to show Hugo and Murphy Mk1 in conversation with a trio of Brennir.
Caption (Theo): 'First contact seemed to go quite smoothly. I think they were as curious about us as we were about them.'
Caption 2: 'Of course they were especially curious about our Displacement Drive. And of course we tried to deflect their attention to less-dangerous prizes.'
Panel 3
Two of the Brennir shoot Hugo and Murphy with energy weapons.
Caption (Theo): 'But they were not deflected, and eventually decided they could take what they wanted by force.'
Caption: 'As Alyss might have said, we were insufficiently paranoid. And thus, captured.'
