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 2079
Panel 1In space, an external view of a perimeter station, beyond which we can see something streaking past.
Caption: Perimeter Station 273 detected a high-speed object appearing at coordinates 18:57:102 and moving toward the City. It reported the event via q-wave.
Caption: Spectral analysis indicated it was made of iron and moving at .915C
Panel 2
In the distance, the City. In the left foreground, we see the missile streaking towards it.
Caption: More reports from tracking stations inward verify the sighting and automated systems quickly refine the object's projected track.
Caption: By the time the track is solved to within 10 meters, the object is 20 seconds from impact with the City.
Panel 3
The city is noticably closer now, but a large green hexagon has appeared in the missile's path.
Caption: Deslocação Dinámico has had the ability to project Dislocator Portals at a distance for a few decades, now.
Caption: But no one has ever projected one at such a distance and been able to target it so precisely.
Panel 4
Panel split horizontally. In the upper half, we see the missile enter the portal. In the lower one, we see it streaking away towards a new destination: a double black-hole.
Caption: And this is how you stop an unstoppable force from smacking you in the face.
