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 1736
Panel 1Another shot of Alyss and Diana and Juan in the booth. Still chatting.
Caption: The other thing that bothers me about Roaz, is her high-handedness.
Caption: Even when she was human, she'd come up with grand ideas that disrupted a lot of people's lives and she didn't seem to care.
Caption: While she did develop some awesome technology, she could stand to learn some humility, in my opinion.
Panel 2
Finally, we get let in on the conversation.
Alyss: Well, of course I didn't ask to meet you here just to reminisce about old times.
Alyss: But there's a loose string from our 'Venus 23' adventure that has been bothering me and I want your help tying it off.
Diana: And what string is that?
Panel 3
In lower left of panel, Alyss, in upper right, a memory image of Hayami.
Alyss: Hayami. The gynoid whom I'd hired to assist me on your homeworld, but then betrayed me and destroyed my biological body.
Alyss: She was murdered shortly after we returned to Oz.
Alyss: Which is a remarkable feat in and of itself. She was physically quite formidable.
Panel 4
Another three-shot of Alyss, Juan, Diana. The latter two are exchanging glances.
Alyss: But what's more remarkable is her 'back-up' went missing, too.
Alyss: I'd thought her actions came from a misguided ideology, but obviously she knew something that someone didn't want revealed.
Alyss: I think that someone wanted me eliminated and I want to find out who it is.
