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 1822
Panel 1They pause at the entrance to Diana's quarters.
Lorelei: If you like, I can have my personal neuro-tech take a look at you.
Diana: Uh, thanks but I'll just take this up with the tech who installed this one.
Caption: That was Monty, and I never trusted anyone else with my brain-meats.
Panel 2
Cut to futuristic bathroom. Diana is nude, walking through a large membrane – a Clean Screen.
Caption: Lorelei was also a fan of water-bathing, and I luxuriated in that while I stayed at her mansion.
Caption: But my new friends were waiting for me and walking through a Clean Screen was a much faster way of getting not just my hair-oil and ridiculous make-up off, but also the stink of sweating through that encounter with the legendary Sergio Cooper.
Panel 3
In her bedroom, Diana is standing in front of a full-length holo-mirror as she zips up her anysuit.
Caption: The Redes is full of jokes about Cooper's physical and mental prowess.
Caption: 'When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Sergio Cooper.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper once walked away from a fight with two broken ribs and a dislocated arm. He hasn't given them back yet.'
Panel 4
Same shot, only now the Anysuit is generating street clothing.
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper counted to infinity. Twice.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper can unscramble an egg.'
Caption: 'The only time Sergio Cooper was wrong was when he thought he'd made a mistake.'
Caption: 'Sergio Cooper can make you sweat inside a temperature-controlled Anysuit.'
Caption: That last one was mine. It's not a joke, it's a fact.
