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 2304
Panel 1Jerome Falstaff and Bok are walking through a concourse. A few other people about, but not crowded. Half of the shops are closed.They pass by a display promoting the Resposta Ciudadana (Citizen Response) put together by Stouder et al.
Caption: Elsewhere in the city:
Bok: More than a third of these shops are closed!
Bok: Just a few cycles ago this place was thriving.
Jerome: Yeah, bombings tend to scare people away from gathering-places.
Panel 2
The pair continue onward through the concourse. They pass by a display promoting the Resposta Ciudadana (Citizen Response) put together by Stouder et al.
Bok: ‘Citizen Response’? I’ve been seeing this all over the place.
Jerome: Yeah, it developed while you were out chasing Montoya.
Panel 3
They walk by one shop that is still damaged from a recent fire.
Bok: This is awful. Haven’t the Pillars been able to get a handle on who’s doing this?
Jerome: They’ve kicked that ball down to the minor leagues.
Bok: The minor who?
Panel 4
As they walk into the distance we see a plain-looking woman carrying a backpack walking into the foreground. Another citizen is approaching from the other side of the panel, farther back
Jerome: The lesser sphere-owners. They’ve organized their own citizen-militia, of sorts.
Bok: In competition with Demônios de Combate? How is Kāng taking that?
Jerome: He hasn’t said a word about it. I’m betting he’s livid.
