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 1731
Panel 1Diana is walking down an office corridor. She has a satchel slung over her shoulder.
Caption: Juan didn't give me my full pay but enough to pay rent this cycle.
Caption: The kinds of cases we were doing didn't pay that well, and he has a lot of accounts receivable.
Caption: But collections are definitely not in my skill-set.
Panel 2
Standing out on a broad, open platform, Diana tosses the satchel in front of her.
Caption: I really don't like personal confrontations. I'd rather just comb through info.
Caption: Juan can deal with the strong-arm stuff.
Panel 3
The satchel transforms into Diana's flycar.
Caption: Once I paid rent I could afford a few groceries, anyway.
Caption: The next day was the 10th of Primary, 1070, as the calendar runs here.
Caption: It was my day off, but I couldn't afford to go shopping, or partying.
Panel 4
Diana flies in her flycar through the city. Background shows buildings, other traffic. Signage abounds, including a billboard for Républicains Por La Démocratie. She's looking sullen.
Caption: Wasn't much else to do but … do some more case-law reading.
Caption: At least that was more productive than hanging out on Mídia Hoj and arguing with anonymous strangers.
