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 873
Panel 1Exterior view of Murphy's Pockrocket, blazing along.
Murphy (thoughtsend, from inside rocket): I'm in a pockrocket you should be able to see on the ship's radar.
Murphy: I'm on a faster track but right now I'm close enough we can converse.
Panel 2
Cutaway view of the rocket to show Murphy standing in the interior of the shield-cone. There's a rucksack and an overnight bag at her feet.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Although I can change course and rendezvous with Cissonius, with the Captain's permission.
Murphy: And yours, of course.

Cut to Seamus in the Control Deck. He's now sitting on the rear bulkhead, his feet dangling in the hatchway. Bill is looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Seamus (thoughtsend): Murphy, listen carefully: Nicole has been kidnapped!
Seamus: A Pinocchio has taken her to a freighter passing about 5 gigameters abeam.
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Murphy, her jaw set, her eyes narrowed and glowing red.
