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 1988
Panel 1Diana, Alyss, Sergio and Montoya are walking out of the hearing room. (Well, Montoya is floating on his conveyance alongside the other two.)
Diana: So for all my injuries, I'm netting out 2500 moebits?
Montoya: Only because you agreed to cover Alyss' debts related to her assault on the DeCastries building.
Montoya: And, I don't expect them to appeal the ruling.
Panel 2
Closer 4-shot on Diana, Alyss, Sergio, and Montoya. Alyss is looking thoughtful.
Diana: Why not?
Montoya: The bad publicity from this case will pretty well ruin DeCastries here. I expect him and his associates will pull up stakes and find a friendlier location to start over.
Panel 3
Cut scene: Diana is sitting in a tall chair, under a microphone before her. The walls are covered with echo-deadening material.
Diana: And, well … he was right. DeCastries, Belbenoit, and their whole crew left the city for parts unknown.
Diana: I never did find out what happened to that Trudeau character. I hope he rots.
Bok (electronic, OP): OK, I think we can end on that note.
Panel 4
Swing around so we see Diana in rear ¾ and we can see Bolivar 'Bok' Clark through a transparency.
Diana: Yeah, Bok, that's good. My voice is feeling a bit strained now.
Bok: Yvonne's makes a turmeric-chocolate milk-shake that tastes great and will fix you right up. I'm buying, let's go.
