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 2409
Panel 1Alyss appears to be at a loss. Jorge and Sergio look on.
Alyss: I … don’t know.
Alyss: Last I saw them, they came to report their findings about the relativistic missiles sent at us.
Panel 2
A bit of a recap, since it’s been so long.
Sergio: Right. The missiles came from the Andromeda Galaxy, meaning, Shenhua Itochu.
Jorge: Meaning, the Inter-Galactic Council. Kind of old news, now.
Panel 3
Alyss clearly doesn’t like what she’s hearing.
Jorge: Most likely they saw our situation was bad and took a powder.
Jorge: Perhaps we should consider an evacuation.
Panel 4
Alyss is now openly angry.
Alyss: I can’t believe I’m hearing this!
Alyss: When the chips were down in the last war, we didn’t just give up!
Jorge: Woah, that’s not what I’m saying.
Panel 5
Sergio, Alyss, Jorge
Jorge: I’m saying we evacuate the most vulnerable. The children. The injured.
Jorge: Keep them safe while we fight.
Sergio: Where is ‘safe’ at this point?
Sergio: The IGC has its tentacles everywhere.
Panel 6
Alyss is looking at Sergio with renewed admiration.
Sergio: Our culture selects for the most robust people, those most-dedicated to liberty.
Sergio: The strength of this city is its people.
Sergio: We have to find a better solution.
