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 2509
Panel 1Nicole, Li and their kids are at a counter getting food and drink. Behind the counter are LaVerne and another teen-aged girl, Candace.
Alyss: By the time we woke up, LaVerne had started up the kitchen, and was serving breakfast to us, along with her daughter Candace.
Panel 2
Nicole, Alexandra, Penelope and Adila sitting in folding chairs, drinking coffee and chatting.
Alyss: It took another whole day before the water receded enough we could return home. So we filled the time getting to know each other.
Panel 3
Penelope speaks
Penelope: When my former partner Jenna and I split I sold my share of our Picochip business, and bought a homestead here. My new partner Adelaide brought her four children and we’ve been making it work.
Panel 4
Adila’s turn
Adila: I met my husband Zachary in a yoga class, 23 years ago. He worked for Spacely’s Space ships for 40 years before he decided to change careers. We do mostly ranching, raising sheep and alpacas.
Panel 5
Alexandra speaks to Nicole
Alexandra: As the others know, this is Julius and my second attempt at a homestead. The first was on New Jericho – I guess you heard about what a disaster that was.
Alexandra: We collected what reserves we had left and started again here.
Panel 6
Nicole smiles a bit nervously as she responds
Nicole: Ah … my husband Li led a successful revolution in the Jovian moons, and I co-invented the Murphy-Oresme Dicontinuous Displacement Technology.
Nicole: So I guess if it weren’t for me, none of us would be in this situation.
