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 1823
Panel 1Diana steps into the parlor. Dong, Areum and Wook are seated straight-backed on a chair and sofa arranged around a coffee table, upon which sits a tea service. A classic-human girl in a maid outfit stands by.
Diana: Is it tea time already?
Dong: It is always tea time, somewhere in the Universe.
Dong: But now is also the time for planning.
Panel 2
Lorelei, refreshed and re-dressed, enters.
Lorelei: Absolutely. Cooper's performance was quite … unexpectedly subdued.
Dong: The danger coming from Smith & Holder remains, despite this.
Lorelei: Diana, have you uncovered some dirt on the company or its employees that would make you a target?
Panel 3
Xtreme close-up on Diana, pondering her quandary.
Caption: That put me on the spot. Because in the first place, my investigations are supposed to be confidential.
Caption: Not only that, Lorelei is a key figure in the investigation, herself.
Caption: I had come to trust her as a 'friend in deed.'
Caption: But I'd also just learned she has this weird political agenda.
Panel 4
Pull back to show Diana now seated between Lorelei and Dong.
Diana: I … can't reveal the details of my investigative work.
Diana: Suffice to say, I am certainly a 'target,' and in the market for a new assurance agency.
Diana: But until I see Juan again I'm not sure I even have a job to pay for one, now.
