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 1983
Panel 1The captions will take quite a big chunk of this panel. The lower part is filled with Alyss, Dong, Sergio Cooper, and two of the 'gang' leaders from Pandemonium Sphere looking up in a mix of wonder and confusion.
Caption: The ensuing battle has been well-reported in the docu media so I won't go over that here. Except to acknowledge the bravery and honor of the people who fought for me. I'll never forget them.
Caption: It turned out that Sergio Cooper had quit Smith & Holder, formed his own company, and was immediately hired by Alyss.
Caption: After almost a day of fighting, the defenders were neutralized and the source of Guido's signals was found:
Panel 2
Reverse view to show a very large construction that looks like the opened-up model of the hyper-cubexahedron, doubled, with the twin reversed and facing the first one. There is a small gap between the two which glows with pink-colored energy. The heads of the invaders look very small at the bottom of the fame, indicating the scale of the thing.
Sergio: So, what the heck is this supposed to do?
Alyss: I'll get my grand-kin on it right away.
Panel 3
Sergio is lifting a rather nerdish-looking DeCastries minion by the front of his shirt, like Khan Noonian Singh lifting poor Chekov by the convenient handle on his enviro-suit. The minion is cringing in terror.
Sergio: You! You look like you know what this thing does. Now, either you can tell us, or ...
Minion: I'll tell you everything you want to know! Please don't hurt me!
Panel 4
Still holding the minion, Sergio turns to grin at Alyss, who is not impressed.
Sergio: See? All we had to do was ask politely.
Alyss: I still want my grand-kin here to verify that what this character tells us won't get us obliterated from reality.
