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 1831
Panel 1Another angle on Montoya, Diana, and the bodyguards.
Montoya: Dead? Oh Sweet Green, no!
Montoya: But … are you not aware of his condition?
Diana: The hospital won't talk to me! So that's what I'm here to find out.
Panel 2
The Snake is scandalazed, and begins leading the troupe out of the alcove.
Montoya: That is a brazen violation of the assignation!
Montoya: I will rectify this immediately, and then lodge a complaint with the house counsel.
Montoya: Come with me and we will visit Senhor Gómez.
Panel 3
Montoya, Diana, Areum and Wook are confronted by a pair of hospital orderlies in a doorway. One is an android, the other a beltape, and both are large. Montoya is flashing his card again.
Montoya: Good evening, sirs. I have an assignee to visit Senhor Juan Gómez.
Beltape orderly: Visiting hours are over. Come back tomorrow.
Montoya: By J. Kubric R.1844 paragraph 47b, hospitals in the Rodriguez Compact agree to allow close relatives to visit patients at virtually any time that suits them.
Panel 4
Same shot. The android has turned to speak to the beltape.
Montoya: And paragraph 217c stipulates that assignees have the same privileges as close relatives.
Android orderly: He is correct.
Beltape orderly: Very well, you may go in.
Areum (sotto voce): It is good to know the right codes.
