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 533
Panel 1Still in the circular room -- Shen and Seamus are now removing their respective Screens from the consoles.
Seamus: So, if you manage to disarm the commoners, will you also disarm your security team?
Shen: Disarm my -- ? Ridiculous!
Seamus: This implies that your own life is more valuable than those of ordinary Huoxingians.
Not very politic, I think.
Panel 2
The men have moved around to the front side of the kiosk so they can speak face-to-face.
Shen: Surely you aren't suggesting that every Huoxingian have a trained security team?
Seamus: That would not be, as you put it, practical. Simply allowing them to keep their personal weapons should serve.
Panel 3
Shen begins to walk away from the kiosk, and his retinue begin to follow, but Seamus remains.
Shen: I would love to stay and debate politics with you, Dr. O'Murchadha, but I have other business to attend.
Seamus: As do I, Mr. Peng-Bo. Have a pleasant day.
Panel 4
As Shen moves to exit, stage left, Xie-Po Tong enters from the right. They exchange uneasy glances.
Seamus: Ah, my dear Xie-Po! You are right on schedule!
Seamus: Don't worry about the security team -- you're no commoner.
