Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2055
Panel 1In another, undamaged sphere, we see a nondescript, warehouse-like structure amid a grouping of other similar structures.
Caption: A few hours later ...
Alyss (from inside structure): No, Michael, it's not at all fancy, and that's the point. It's a safely discreet place to dock Eva Jeanne while I take care of business here.
Panel 2
In an alcove aboard the Eva Jeanne, Alyss converses with Michael, the Cybernetic Autonomous Telequidnuc we first saw in the Venus 23 arc. Alyss is looking depressed.
Michael: You seem really sad. How bad was the damage to La Casa Silvestri?
Alyss: It was completely horrendous. I don't know yet if Monty can be resurrected.
Alyss: And no one knows what happened to Diana.
Panel 3
Alyss absent-mindedly stroking Michael the way anyone would pet a cat.
Michael: This seems like a great argument for off-site, redundant back-ups.
Alyss: Maybe, but people are wise to worry about the security of off-site personality data.
Alyss: Imagine having unauthorized copies of yourself running around, ruining your credit rating.
Panel 4
A sullen Alyss is walking away from the alcove, leaving Michael to watch her depart.
Alyss: Well, we can hash out those issues later. Right now there are more pressing concerns.
Alyss: Sit tight while I go do battle with four of my favorite sparring partners.
