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 48
Panel 1Seamus and Nicole are in the Four Wings restaurant, sitting at a table in the corner. They are dining.
Seamus: We're going to be on Mercury five days, so you'll see quite a few West Terrans here.
Nicole: Gensaxwal employees mostly, right?
Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole. Nicole eats heartily as Seamus lectures.
Seamus: All West Terrans are, one way or another.
Seamus: The same transhuman technologies we L-5ers use to transform our bodies into fanciful configurations, the Terrans use to divide themselves into social classes.
Panel 3
Seamus and Nicole, Nicole still putting it away.
Seamus: You saw two of them a short while ago.
Seamus: The Excecutives, who give the orders, and the Associates, who carry them out.
Panel 4
Nicole and Seamus.
Seamus: There are other classes – Managers, Geeks, Artisans, and you want to avoid the Checkers. Large, insanely strong, and completely humorless.
Seamus: But Associates are most common, both in the population and status.
