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 2224
Panel 1The interview continues:
Falstaff: Concerning the business climate … how long do you think we can manage under the current rate of closures, before the city collapses?
Da Costa: 'Collapses?' You must be kidding.
Panel 2
Da Costa explains, an image of the original Sphere appears next to him:
Da Costa: When this city was founded, more than three centuries ago, there was just one sphere, and all of twenty thousand pioneers. I know because I was among them.
Da Costa: From that point, we grew.
Da Costa: We could do that again if we had to.
Panel 3
Medium 2-shot again.
Falstaff: So you're not worried about the consequences of this siege?
Da Costa: Of course I'm worried. I've personally lost 20 percent of my net worth, and I'll probably lose a lot more before this is over.
Panel 4
Falstaff and Da Costa. We're pulled back a bit to see the outside edges of the monitor again
Falstaff: Twenty percent?
Falstaff: What do you say to those who've lost their jobs?
Da Costa: See me after this is over and my partners and I will find a way to help them create their own jobs.
