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 679
Panel 1Medium close-up on Antigone, re-capping.
Antigone: So you've discovered a plot to commit mass-murder, arranged so as to trigger a general war between Ceres and Hygiea.
Antigone: Vesta Vista Development is the major actor here but you also implicate Omega Tech and the Republic of Luna government.
Antigone: So, what did you do with your findings?
Panel 2
Re-establish scene in hotel bedroom: Ed Newsdon, Chelsea Flemming, Nicole, Antigone, and Murphy floating in the Bubb. Chelsea looks remorseful.
Ed: Chelsea took them to Nina Levin, against my advice.
Chelsea: And she ended up dead. Because of me.
Ed: No, because of Vesta Vista. I figured we'd be next so we contacted Chelsea's grandfather.
Panel 3
Chelsea and Nicole.
Chelsea: We explained the situation to him, and showed him our data – he can process information remarkably quickly, you know.
Nicole: And he believes you.
Chelsea: And he believes us, yes.
Panel 4
Ed, Chelsea, Nicole and Antigone.
Ed: He contacted some people he knows on Ceres but they're skeptical. It's hard to react to a threat you can't see.
Chelsea: But Grampa thinks he has a solution.
Nicole: Huh. I'll bet I know what that is, too.
