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 2393
Panel 1A squad of Libérateurs patrols an otherwise deserted concourse. Shops closed and barricaded.
Caption: Two hours later, at Carvalho Plaza:
Libérateur 1: This sucks.
Panel 2
Medium shot focusing on two of the troopers.
Libérateur 2: What, do you mean the gloominess, or the monotony?
Libérateur1: I mean all of it.
Panel 3
Another shot on the two troopers
Libérateur1: The lock-down order has been lifted. People are supposed to be returning to their normal work and routines.
Libérateur 1: And of course, queue up to be registered.
Panel 4
A different angle, including the two troopers
Libérateur 1: I mean, we could be enjoying some of the local hospitality. Booze, haze, good food, comfort women -- they’re supposed to have it all here.
Libérateur 1: Instead, they stay closed-up, hiding behind their force-shields.
Panel 5
A different angle, including the two troopers as one gestures towards a closed Callahan’s Pub.
Libérateur 1: We could probably break through some of these local barriers, given the order.
Libérateur 2: Command wants to take this city with minimal casualties.
Panel 6
Focus on a Libérateur’s boot stepping on a loose tile.
Libérateur 1: Not that I’m aching to bust heads, but I wish something would happen.
