Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 544
Panel 1In Chan's office. Chan lounges in his executive chair as a stone-faced Peng-Bo speaks through the tele-screen on Chan's desk.
Peng-Bo: Chan, in the first place, I don't believe this theory. If Tong did plot the death of Ma, there are at least a dozen less ... spectacular ways he might have accomplished it.
Peng-Bo: And without the risk of involving off-world celebrities.
Panel 2
Medium shot of Chan, examining his fingernails as Peng-Bo continues OP from the telescreen.
Peng-Bo: Furthermore, the complications this could create would not serve either of us.
Peng-Bo: Accusing O'Murchadha would create an inter-world incident during the delicate negotions regarding the Ionian matter.
Panel 3
In Peng-Bo's office, two-shot of Peng-Bo and Chan on the telescreen.
Chan: I rather think you would be more inconvenienced than I.
Chan: However, I would be willing to suspend the investigation ... as a favor.
Panel 4
Medium chot of Peng-Bo, looking unhappy.
Peng-Bo: A favor. Of course.
Peng-Bo: Be careful granting favors, Chan. When accounts become too unbalanced, the scales will not usually tip in your favor.
