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 2116
Panel 1Montoya is creeping through a dark alley, himself barely visible underneath his holo-charm, which is doing a chameleon thing.
Montoya: (thought): No telling who or what I might run into back here.
Montoya: The holo-charm might make me nearly invisible but I still must tread carefully.
Panel 2
Montoya is only a few meters away when the back door opens and a large bundle is tossed out.
Montoya (thought): That must be the back door and … ah!
Montoya: I hope that isn't what I suspect it is.
Panel 3
Montoya cautiously approaches the bundle on the filthy pavement.
Montoya: (thought): Whatever it is, my tracer is not on it.
Montoya: Still, I need to know ...
Panel 4
Montoya lifts a flap to see the face of his stalker. Angle shot so we focus mainly on Montoya's dismayed reaction, but we can see enough of the stalker to know she was beaten horribly. But her hair color identifies her.
Montoya: Maldito seja!
Montoya: (thought): Did they do this to her just because I caught her? Did they detect the tracer?
