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 87
Panel 1The Helio-Flyer still accelerating away from Sol. Which appears a goodly bit smaller than last time but still almost fills the height of the panel.
Caption: To maintain alertness through 29 hours of monotony, Nicole engages a number of distractions.
Panel 2
Inside the cockpit, Nicole is still lit only by her suit's lights. Translucent fields filled with glowing, arcane, quasi-mathematical inscriptions float about her head.
Caption: She reviews some articles on 'quantum vibremonics' which she had downloaded previously.
Panel 3
Same angle on Nicole but now she is in her cyber-form flying through space as if riding a chopper. Across one section of the starry background there's a wide rectangle filled with a scene containing the same characters as we saw in Strip 41.
Caption: Accessing the Sysnet, she downloads and 'views' the latest episodes of Doosh Goza Ouiselle, Art's My Folly, and Bizarro Neil.
Panel 4
Helio-Flyer zooms away.
Caption: As the hours wear on and she gets more desperate, she links into Ché Nannigan's What You Should Think soapbox program.
Nannigan (filtered): … that them dim damn elves think they can get away with every time every time they open their filthy pie-holes …
Nicole: {grrrrrrrrr}
Caption: The aggravation of such annoying noise helped maintain her edge.
