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 1382
Panel 1The tracer-bot hovers next to Diana as Monty looks on. A silhouette of a woman's head appears on the screen.
Voice from bot (electronic): Olá Diana, esto es … [we met at the Galleria.]
Diana: Uh, hi?
Voice: [I have considered your ideas, and wish to explore them, in person. Can we meet?]
Diana: Uh, sure.
Panel 2
The bot and Diana.
Voice: [Good. Meet me at Becker Farms, and come alone. This is very sensitive.]
Diana: Okay, but can you tell me how you managed to …
Voice: Vê-lo em seguida!
Bot: Ba-doop! Connection terminated.
Panel 3
Diana and Monty. She's pointing out her wrist-zinger.
Diana: That had to have been Drusilla. This could be a big break.
Monty: You're not actually going alone, are you?
Diana: Why not? I've got my zinger-thinger. And I'm highly vigilant.
Monty: You were cornered in a shopping mall by a courier.
Panel 4
Monty unexpectedly hugs Diana tightly.
Monty: Well, do be careful. I've come to like having you around.
Diana: {Hurk!}
Diana: If I can survive one of your hugs I can survive anything.
Panel 5
Diana is in her flyer, approaching Becker Farms, which is one of the giant spheres we've been seeing in the backgrounds.
Diana (thought): So this must be 'Becker Farms.'
Diana: I've seen several of these gargantuan spheres. I guess these are where Ozians' food comes from?
Panel 6
In the parking area, Diana is packing her flyer back into briefcase-mode when a different tracer-bot flies up to her.
Bot: Estás Diana Martelli?
Diana: Yes? Did, ah, Juliana send you?
Bot: Afirmativo. [Please follow me.]
