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 2175
Panel 1Lorelei smirks at the other three while they recover from the surprise entrance.
Lorelei: You guys have been popping around the universe for 500 years, I'd think you'd be used to this sort of thing.
Alyss: I take it you've never heard of PTSD.
Caption: Lorelei deCleyre, at a mere 243 years, is the youngest of the city's civic leaders, known collectively as 'The Pillars.'
Panel 2
Four-shot of Lorelei, Alyss, Murphy, Hugo
Lorelei: Of course I have. But none of you was here when the Gran Raio happened.
Alyss: No, but we've been directly involved in three to five previous shooting wars.
Hugo: And besides, we're all under stress now, and so we're a bit jumpy.
Panel 3
Same scene, now Lorelei is focused on Hugo.
Lorelei: My parents kept me well away from the last big galactic war, it's true.
Lorelei: None of my children and grandchildren have known that level of chaos.
Lorelei: Let's see that they don't have to now.
Panel 4
Hugo smiles gently in return.
Hugo: Well said, my dear.
Hugo: Now, may I presume you have some purpose for popping in just now?
Lorelei: Well, actually I get a jolly out of making you guys jump like that.
