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 2240
Panel 1Cut to: Diana's workstation in the property-recovery department at Cooper Security. She is focused intently at the Screen.
Caption: Diana had expected her job in the property-recovery section of Cooper Security would be as mundane as her old job working for Juan Goméz had been.
Caption: Instead it was much more complicated.
Panel 2
Diana from POV the screen. She's furrowing her brow in frustration.
Caption: A shipment of highly valuable Drangolian Werpolitzi had gone missing from the Kornbluth testing facility in Braunfels Sphere.
Caption: Kornbluth is contracted with Cooper Security so it's up to Diana to track the stolen goods down and recover them if possible.
Panel 3
She leans back in her chair, momentarily defeated.
Caption: Each 'batch' of Drangolian Werpolitzi has a unique identifier code embedded within, making it easier to track.
Caption: So long as anyone handling it is part of the Kim-Favreau Compact, which allows her to search their transfer records.
Caption: But many operations aren't part of the Compact.
Panel 4
Shift focus, Diana has that crafty look, and we can see Lester at another workstation a few meters away, glancing over at her.
Caption: There are ways around such difficulties, but she isn't cleared for accessing data volumes that sensitive.
Caption: The obvious solution is to go work on her 'babysitter.'
