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.
Panel 1
Diana and Monty
Diana: Are you serious? Do people here go around shooting each other all the time?
Monty: Quite the contrary. Assaults are rare, murder rarer still.
Monty: No one wants to start a scrap that could get themselves shot or stabbed.
Panel 2
Diana is protesting, while Monty patiently explains.
Diana: That's nuts! What's to stop me from losing my temper and blasting someone?
Monty: I would hope, your sense of self-preservation.
Monty: One person armed in a room full of people is potentially dangerous. But when everyone is armed, they become motivated not to let conflicts turn deadly.
Panel 3
Diana looks dubiously at her hand.
Diana: I guess a 'zringer' is what Alyss wears. But how do I control one?
Monty: You cannot, without an implant.
Monty: However, as with the flyer, there are alternatives available.
