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 743
Panel 1In the background, the boxes are arrayed on the ground next to a large apparatus with conduits extending everywhere to suggest this is some sort of vital organ. Seamus and Moe are discussing the situation. In the foreground, Nicole and Murphy confer – Nicole is looking back towards the others.
Nicole: The part of my job I'm best-qualified for and I'm told not to 'get underfoot.'
Murphy: What are they doing?
Panel 2
In the background, Moe has some panels open and Seamus is handing one of his gizmo components to her while holding another. Nicole and Murphy in the foreground.
Nicole: Seamus' gizmo can generate a field completely impervious to EM radiation.
Nicole: In space, this can make a ship practically invisible, so long as you don't get too close.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: I saw it – or an early version of it – in action when we were at Venus.
Nicole: But that unit was self-contained. Why do they have to do an install it into the ship's systems?
Panel 4
Looking at the background again, Moe has a large part of the apparatus disassembled and she's hip-deep in it, her legs sticking out. Seamus is calling over to Nicole.
Seamus: To use the ship's power.
Seamus: Now, will you come help Moe with the flexi-stator coupling?
Moe: No, no, I got this!
