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 2398
Panel 1Lee's ship approaches planet Roussimov.
William: The planet... Roussimov?
Lee: Colonized by some Russian families almost 300 years ago.
Panel 2
Inside Lee's ship.
Lee: The colonists chose a relatively low-tech lifestyle, so the population now is not quite one million persons, clustered into two dozen towns and almost a hundred tiny hamlets.
Panel 3
Lee's ship entering the planet's upper atmosphere

Lee: Here especially, she's super-human.
Panel 4
Lee's ship lands.

Panel 5
William now in disquise, he and Lee pay the landing fee.
Williams: How far do we have to go overland?
Lee: Not far. Less than 200 klicks.
Panel 6
William and Lee begin driving off in a car.
William: When you said these folks like a low-tech lifestyle, you weren't kidding.
Lee: If you'd prefer, I could get us a horse-drawn wagon.
William: No, this is fine.
