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 1986
Panel 1New scene: Diana, Sergio Cooper, and Alyss are sitting at a table with William I. Montoya, the serpentine advogado.
Caption: It was almost another day before I was found, rescued, revived, and so forth.
Caption: But it wasn't over yet. Folks here don't generally favor armed assaults like the one Alyss and Sergio launched on my behalf.
Diana: Wait … they kidnapped me, beat John nearly to death, murdered Hayami and we're the ones on the hook?
Panel 2
Medium c/u on Montoya.
Caption: William I. Montoya had likewise cut ties with Smith & Holder and now worked for Alyss and Sergio.
Montoya: Oh, we'll be filing our claims against their claims.
Montoya: Senhora Roaz' charge that the RPLD was laying groundwork for an invasion is going to be a tough sell, however.
Montoya: There's no law against developing a competing portal system.
Panel 3
Diana, Alyss, Sergio.
Alyss: Just making the claim formally can help us. Even if the arbiters reject the claim, the public is not going to like the idea At. All.
Sergio: Making claims you can't back up, can back-fire on us. We'll look like liars. We need hard data.
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Diana, cracking her knuckles with palms forward.
Diana: Well, now that I know what I'm looking for, I think I can find what we need.
Diana: I'm gonna make those creeps wish they'd killed me when they had the chance.
