Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2065
Panel 1Da Costa and Montoya in Da Costa's office. They are looking at a large viewscreen, which is at an oblique angle to us so we can't see what's on it yet.
Da Costa: These are all the corporations and cartels that are in a rivalrous position relative to local enterprises.
Montoya: That is quite a list.
Panel 2
Looking at Da Costa and Montoya from just to one side of the screen. Da Costa is doing some motions with his hands, directing the display system.
Da Costa: We can narrow the list quite a bit by eliminating the smaller operations.
Da Costa: Also those with significant investments in the city …
Montoya: Wait ...
Panel 3
Closer two-shot of Da Costa and Montoya
Montoya: Someone already invested here might still be willing to destroy even their own facilities, if their aim is to generate a chaotic situation.
Montoya: Certain parties may be poised to take advantage while we're off-foot.
Da Costa: But that still leaves us with more than 570 possible subjects to investigate!
Panel 4
Montoya smiles and claps Da Costa on the shoulder.
Montoya: If we are lucky, it could be more than one of them, maybe all of them together.
Montoya: In this way our chances of finding a good lead improve greatly.
Da Costa: You have a funny idea of 'lucky,' Albert.
Da Costa: My idea of 'lucky' is when the solution arrives on your doorstep on its own.
