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 1816
Panel 1Byron interviews Lorelei and Diana. Lorelei interrupts Diana.
Byron: So, Diana, how did this situation with Smith & Holder develop?
Diana: Well, I just went in to the office where I work and there were ...
Lorelei: Diana was confronted by an S&H agent who shouldn't even be living in this city, let alone as a security officer.
Panel 2
Lorelei and Diana. Again Lorelei interrupts.
Diana: Well, at first it was two other agents who said they were there about ...
Lorelei: The two classic agents behaved professionally, of course.
Diana: Well, not so much at first, but I managed to sort it ...
Panel 3
Lorelei and Diana. Diana is getting somewhat annoyed.
Lorelei: Some people don't want to hear about it when one of them brutalizes a youngling.
Diana: Actually, as you measure years here I'm 20.
Lorelei: That overpowered beltape grabbed Diana's arm with both arms and snapped it like dry asparagus!
Panel 4
Pull back again to include Byron in the shot. Lorelei has her arms crossed. Diana is looking at her oddly.
Byron: So you're suggesting that security agencies should not hire beltapes?
Byron: It's not some more general corruption within the industry?
Lorelei: I think beltapes are the corruption of our security agencies.
Caption: Lorelei was using an older, rather rude pronunciation of the word usually pronounced 'bel-toppays' in modern Portanglish. Byron seemed a bit put off.
