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
Some Cush-zombies have various parts of Hugo1 arrayed on a table in front of them. They are variously examining the pieces and sticking probes into them. Theo narrates from a cameo:
Theo: When they discovered me they were somewhat flummoxed.
Theo: They were cyborgs, networked into a collective hive-mind via their mechanical aspects.
Panel 2
Now the zombies are re-building Hugo1.
Caption (Theo): 'They didn't know what to make of an individuated, fully-mechanical person.
Caption: 'So, they reassembled me. My power reserves were very low so I refrained from speaking or reacting to their prodding.
Panel 3
A Cuch-zombie is plugging a cable into Hugo1's ear. Hugo1's eyes look energized.
Caption (Theo): 'Finally, they plugged me into their matrix, attempting to power me up while also getting a map of my cognitive systems.
Caption: 'You see, we are far advanced from even Cush technology and they were eager to expand their knowledge.
Caption: 'However, this was their last mistake.'
