Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2130
Panel 1Hugo and Murphy are walking up a broad concourse, on a pathway through various large machines and connecting conduits.
Caption: Three hours later:
Hugo: … fortunate that you transmitted a personal log update shortly after I departed the Causa Sui, before, ah …
Murphy: Before I was destroyed, I know.
Panel 2
The pair enter a room with several monitor screens and a pair of podia facing the largest one.
Hugo: So we know where to look for my remains.
Murphy: First, a brief shake-down cruise, ok?
Hugo: At least let me give our new ship a name.
Panel 3
They take their places on the twin podia.
Murphy: So long as it's not something ridiculous.
Hugo: Then I christen this ship, Polyphemus.
Murphy: Poly … the mythical cyclops? Why?
Panel 4
Reveal of the ship in space, twin suns in the distance. The ship is clearly much larger than Causa Sui, perhaps half a kilometer stem to stern and 2/3 of that abeam. It looks powerful. The large dish on the bow is presented, bringing the joke home.
Hugo: (from inside): Are you kidding?
