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 1985
Panel 1Cut scene to another room where DeCastries is being detained. He is laughing in Sergio's face. As Alyss is standing by looking grim. Opposite her is a handcuffed Belbenoit, looking defiant. Some of Sergio's men are there to discourage shenanigans.
Caption: Sergio located DeCastries but DeCastries could not be intimidated. Neither could Belbenoit. There seemed to be some folks missing but time was not on my rescuers' side.
Panel 2
With Alyss standing by, Sergio addresses a somewhat rag-tag assemblage. Some Cooper's Troopers, some pirates, Dong Gyeon-Hoon, the Siblings, and Otto.
Caption: So they assembled everyone who wasn't needed to maintain control of the building.
Sergio: Diana is being held in one of 4,096 rabbit-holes and we need to find her as quickly as possible. We have no idea what condition she is in.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Sergio as he is holding up a clamshell-shaped device.
Sergio: Communication from within these holes requires these trans-D comms.
Sergio: They also allow you to open Displacer breaches into the rabbit-holes.
Sergio: Alyss will give each of you numbered sectors to examine.
Panel 4
Everyone has fanned out in a circle, facing outward, and are using their devices to open breaches. Some are stepping through already.
Caption: And so a group of 11 volunteers spent most of a day looking for me, not knowing what they'd find.
Caption: Turned out there were other captives, and a stash of back bacon, potatoes and cheese.
