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 189
Panel 1Again, Seamus in the lower left. In the background, another spaceship rockets through space.
Seamus: Shortly before Enterprise disappeared, a third vessel, the Brahmaputra, launched with a live crew – it was a 'generation' ship, with the idea that the original crew's children and grandchildren would arrive at its destination.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus, on the bed. They have gotten more comfortable about their situation.
Nicole: Right. It was headed towards the Sirius system, after a Terran-like world was detected orbiting Sirius B.
Seamus: And a bit more than 4 light-years out, it was pulled far off-course by a large gravitational mass ...
Panel 3
Another two-shot of Nichole and Seamus.
Nicole: Of dark matter!
Seamus: As was surmised later. They attempted a course correction but were thwarted again when they flew too close to yet another large dark-matter mass.
Panel 4
Seamus continues his story. Nicole has an ironic expression.
Seamus: Explorations of the Oort Cloud have since confirmed that the Enterprise and Brahmaputra were doomed from the start ...
Nicole: Because, as they say, 'Deep space is full of shit.'
