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 2144
Panel 1Same shot from slightly different angle. Alex has turned back to glare in Zondra's direction.
Zondra (OP, electronic): I forgot to mention that we're in deep space, and there's a million light-years of nothing on the other side of those doors.
Zondra: So, you have ten seconds to persuade me not to open them.
Panel 2
Same shot, Alex is giving her the finger with both hands, his face a mask of grim defiance.
Zondra (OP, electronic): Ah, I see.
Zondra: Well, if you're not going to be entertaining, then ...
Panel 3
Now we see the exterior of Zondra's space-craft. A well-worn small cruiser, self-illuminated against a very black void. An airlock door has opened and Alex is getting blown out of it. He's still holding up his fingers.
Zondra (from craft): … To hell with you.
Panel 4
We pull back and we see the cruiser back-lit by a sprawling irregular galaxy beyond it.
Zondra (from craft): And now -- finally! -- for my well-earned retirement .
