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 2258
Panel 1Yeonmi and Daskalov are left in the ward, they walk towards another bed.
Yeonmi: I have only lived in this place for a year, and I don't understand ...
Yeonmi: … I thought the Beneficencias here cover health-care of indigents.
Daskalov: They do.
Panel 2
Another two-shot of Yeonmi and Daskalov
Yeonmi: Then why are the Lazarus Baths not available to them?
Daskalov: They would be, but we're in extraordinary circumstances, and baths are extraordinarily expensive to maintain and difficult to build correctly.
Daskalov: So, there's a waiting list.
Panel 3
Yeonmy and Daskalov are at another patient's bed.
Daskalov: Priority is given to those whose funding made those baths available in the first place.
Yeonmi: I suppose that sounds fair.
Daskalov: Eventually, when this crisis is over, we can take care of everybody.
Panel 4
Daskalov, Yeonmi.
Daskalov: Right now we make do with what we have available.
Yeonmi: I hope Otto can get over his shock. He seems like a nice man.
Daskalov: If he wants to be a healer he'll have to tone down the sensitivity.
