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 2121
Panel 1A fairly featureless corridor, at the end of which is a desk with a bored security guard, next to a heavy door.
Caption: Bubbleopolis doesn't really do jails, or prisons.
Caption: Most lock-ups are ad-hoc arrangements, only intended for temporary use.
Panel 2
Closer-in on the guard at a desk. Now the guard is getting zapped by a zinger coming from POV.
Caption: So they don't really have a conception of 'high security' beyond enclosing the place in an Oresme Shield to prevent unauthorized Murph-ing.
SFX: ZIING
Panel 3
Looking down an inner corridor where there's a room with a doorway that is open but a glowing doorjamb indicates an invisible barrier.
Caption: Ah, an EM-screen rather than metal bars. At least they're not completely primitive.
Panel 4
Now looking straight through the doorway, we see Alex Stern laying in his bunk, looking up in surprise.
POV: Hello, Alex. Keeping busy?
