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 2198
Panel 1Cut to: Albert Montoya is seated at a small cafe table, having a coffee. A video screen inset appears to one side of the panel, in which we see Sergio Cooper. Albert is not looking at the inset but is conversing with Sergio.
Albert: I'd say that's quite a lucky break, unless it's a red herring.
Sergio: Still, if you don't have any better leads …
Panel 2
Different angle on Albert, Sergio's screen still there
Albert: Yes yes, of course. I'm following these.
Albert: Turns out one of them is in Neuveau Mo'orea and I'm there now.
Sergio: Very good. But watch your step. Her bio indicates she has really sharp claws.
Panel 3
Albert sits back and chuckles.
Albert: Ha-ha. Well, mine are pretty sharp, too. But thanks for the heads-up.e
Albert: I need to go now.
Sergio: Good hunting, and watch your six.
Panel 4
The screen with Sergio is gone. Albert is turning to look at a lovely young lass dressed mostly in her green skin standing to the right and a bit behind him.
Albert: Ah. You must be Kahalaomāpuana.
Kahalaomāpuana: You pronounced correctly. Very impressive.
Albert: Thanks, but would you mind if I call you 'Ka' for short?
