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 763
Panel 1Back over near the monitors, Seamus (with Nicole and Murphy) speaks with Hernandez.
Hernandez: A virus?
Nicole: More like a spy-rus.
Seamus: Yes, an unexpectedly clever tactic on the part of our adversaries.
Panel 2
Hernandez and Seamus.
Seamus: When the ship sends out an S.O.S., the virus is activated, but remains dormant – and nigh-undetectable – for two hours.
Seamus: Then it causes the ship's comm system to broadcast our location and vector on specific frequencies which space-faring ships rarely use.
Panel 3
Hernandez and Seamus. Hernandez is alarmed, but Seamus calms him.
Hernandez: It's a trap deliberately set for us?!
Seamus: Or someone like us. Now aren't you glad you took my advice NOT to hack Argosy's systems from your ship?
Panel 4
Hernandez face-palms as he realizes the ramifications of the situation.
Hernandez: The Jalopy would've led the enemy right to our doorstep!
Seamus: Fortunately the EM-shield has protected us here …
Nicole: Like a giant condom!
