Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1374
Panel 1Two-shot of Alyss and Hayami, still holding fast.
Hayami: You regard resource-based economics as an inherently inferior system.
Hayami: We came here to study Zytemonde, but you decided to start 'fixing' it.
Hayami: Of course, to you, fixing a world means making it more like your own.
Panel 2
Alyss argues with Hayami.
Alyss: RBE fails everywhere it is tried, you titanium twit.
Alyss: The evidence of history is pretty overwhelming on that topic.
Hayami: It fails when humans are in charge. Zytemonde shows potential.
Panel 3
Alyss is alarmed, resumes struggling.
Alyss: You think you can do without humans? History also proves you need us!
Hayami: It is true that even the most advanced A.I. cannot match bio-folk ingenuity.
Hayami: Your irrationality somehow gives you an inventive edge.
Alyss: Let go of me and I'll show you an edge!
