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 2281
Panel 1Daskalov defeated, she shrinks into a corner of the cubicle, despondent.
Daskalov: I guess it's all over for me, then.
Daskalov: I'll lose my certs, my reputation. No one will insure me.
Daskalov: My family will disown me ...
Panel 2
Cut to the other side of the bed, with Alyss and a more self-controlled but still-simmering Otto. Lorelei has come around to stand with Otto.
Otto: You deserve to lose it all!
Otto: You were my mentor, my guiding star in the healing arts.
Otto: I looked up to you, trusted you!
Panel 3
Pivot to Sergio Cooper and Daskalov.
Sergio: None of this makes any sense unless someone put you up to this, yes?
Daskalov: ….
Sergio: How do you think this person will react when he finds out you've been caught in the act?
Daskalov ...
Sergio: I can offer you the best protection in the city, if you'll work with us.
I suspect you'll need it.
Panel 4
Daskalov stands up and gestures acceptance.
Daskalov: I suppose at this point my odds are better standing with you, than going on my own.
Daskalov: I'll tell you all I know, but not here.
Daskalov: Shall we go?
