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.
Panel 1
No we see both Jerome's screen and Bok's screen, holo-projected (indistinct background) at 45 deg Z relative to each other.
Jerome: The statement did make a specific reference to the notorious Alyss Roaz and demanded she cease 'interference in matters she does not understand.'
Bok: Roaz has spent much of the last century studying intentional colonies but it's anyone's guess what sort of 'interference' is being objected to.
Panel 2
At the Five Pillars conference table, above which the screens were projected (they are fading out now). Focus on Lorelei and Alyss.
Lorelei: So you're 'notorious' now.
Alyss: I guess I should not have barked at Falstaff last Segundary.
Alyss: But I haven't been bothering anyone for the last five years!
Panel 3
Focus on Enrique and Jorge
Enrique: Verma speculates it could have taken the enemy almost that long to have revved up their missile.
Jorge: Even so, they could have any number of more like it being primed, ready for someone to pull the trigger.
Jorge: I hate having to just sit here waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Panel 4
Kofi, Lorelei and Alyss
Kofi: Clearly this communique is ideological butt-gas. We must discern what the enemy really wants.
Alyss: That's why I asked Da Costa and Montoya to work together on that question.
Lorelei: Francisco and Albert working together? That should be interesting.
