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 1997
Panel 1Again Bok narrates from a cameo. Now William I. Montoya, the Víbora-Humana ('human viper') we've met already
Bok: Advogado for Roaz and company was William I. Montoya, who had once worked for Smith & Holder, but departed that company along with half of its employees, very recently.
Montoya: The assault on De Castries' building was a drastic measure undertaken to save a life imperiled, and possibly thousands more lives in the near future.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Diana and Alyss. Diana is looks stressed by her memories, as Alyss lays a reassuring hand on her friend's arm.
Montoya (OP): The record is clear, that young Diana Martelli was kidnapped from a shopping mall owned by de Castries, where she was lured by an employee of Gianturco Guarantia.
Montoya: And she was taken by members of the Républicans Pour La Démocracie to a dark cell where she was tortured and then left hanging by her wrists without food or water for more than two days.
Panel 3
Now we see de Castries and his crew behind Montoya. De Castries shouts angrily.
Montoya: But more to the point, de Castries was working together with RPLD on a plot to circumvent the Oresme shield and allow a hostile military force to enter and capture the city for the Intergalactic Hegemon.
De Castries: That's a lie! You have no evidence for that!
Panel 4
The Arbiters at their bench. Andrews smiles indulgently, Santini looks gruff, Reinhold looks mildly annoyed.
Andrews: Senhor de Castries, I'm afraid we have to insist on an orderly proceeding.
Andrews: So, any further outbursts like that will result in a fine of 1 moebit payable to the bench.
Santini: Or keep going. I'd like to buy a new anysuit.
Reinhold: Yeah, it's been years since I've had a real vacation.
