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 1848
Strip 118Panel 1
Diana is sitting in a chair with a raised arm-rest (like what phlebotomists use), Diana has her right arm on the rest and The Assistant is strapping it down. Dong and The Mechanic are looking on.
Caption: Soon afterward:
Assistant: This shouldn't take long.
Diana: Is it really necessary to strap my arm down like this?
Panel 2
The Assistant is scanning Diana's arm with some new device.
Assistant: It is important that you not move during the procedure. Less pain that way.
Diana: I'm all in favor of less pain. But, what are you doing now?
Panel 3
The Assistant is making a small mark on Diana's arm with a pen.
Assistant: Scanning your arm. It's important to know the exact location and position of the tracker we want to remove.
Diana: Okay, that makes sense.
Panel 4
The Assiatant is swabbing the middle of Diana's forearm with an antibiotic (iodine) solution. Diana's eyes go wide in response to what The Assistant is telling her.
Assistant: Also, it's possible the tracker is booby-trapped.
Assistant: It might explode or release a toxic cloud when I try to remove it.
Assistant: Good to know in advance.
