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 2241
Panel 1Diana is standing next to Lester's workstation, handing him a mug of a cold beverage. She holds its twin.
Diana: Happy Afternoon-Stretch, Lester. Care for a Bobebida?
Lester: Uh, sure, thanks.
Lester: Having trouble with a trace?
Panel 2
Diana leans against Lester's station in a pose that puts her on display for him. She has his attention.
Diana: It's Kornbluth's stolen werpolitzi. I've only been about to trace about a fifth of the shipment.
Diana: It's like the rest just scattered to the four winds … and most of them blow out of our 'Kim-Favreau' range.
Panel 3
Lester tries to make conversation.
Lester: Yeah, it's a challenge but, well, that means you need to develop relationships with some of the key grey-market operators.
Lester: It takes some time but I'm happy to, ah, show you the ropes.
Panel 4
Diana places a hand affectionately on Lester's shoulder. Not coming on too strong but definitedly making contact.
Diana: That will be great but time is something I really don't have with this case.
Diana: And you know, I'd really like to keep this job, considering how the economy's doing now.
Lester: Keep … this … huh?
