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 2356
Panel 1Kāng and Horton approach the main Displacer-Net portal for the building. It consists of three hexagonal doorways with a small enclosed operations booth to the side.
Horton: How do we shut this thing down?
Kāng: That control booth ...
Panel 2
Suddenly more Libérateurs emerge from the three doorways and begin firing at Kāng and Horton.
Kāng: 他妈的!
Panel 3
Kāng resumes the whirling-blade move, ZANGs bouncing off.
Kāng: Better to capture this asset, if we can, than destroy it with a lightning bolt.
Kāng: Can you bounce a grenade around my shield?
Panel 4
Split panel: in first smaller part, we see Horton throwing the grenade. In the second part we see it bounce off a wall and directly towards the invaders.
Horton: Yessir.
SFX: TK!
Panel 5
The grenade explodes, throwing the squad of invaders back just as more begin to emerge from the portals.
SFX: BWAMM!
Panel 6
Looking past Kāng and Horton at the portals. A pile of dazed/unconscious Libérateurs lie before the portals, through which more invaders are beginning to emerge.
Kāng: This reminds me of the ancient fable about ‘the marching Chinese.’
