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 2542
Panel 1Nicole and Stephanie are back in Nicole’s home office. Stephanie’s device is on an adjacent portable table.
Alyss narrates: Stephanie and I spent several hours pouring over the sensor data and the equations, trying to figure out what went wrong.
Panel 2
Stephanie leans back in her chair, massaging her temples.
Alyss: Finally …
Stephanie: Ugh. I’m bushed, and this gravity isn’t helping.
Nicole: We can set up a bed for you, unless you’d rather sack out in your ship.
Panel 3
Stephanie stands, steadying herself on the chair.
Stephenie: Yeah, I can set the gravity in there, and seven hours of 3 mesecs sounds pretty good now.
Nicole: OK, I’ll walk out with you.
Panel 4
The two walk away from the house.
Stephanie: I haven’t seen much of Warren today …?
Nicole: He’s been really mopey lately. I suspect adolescent moodiness.
Panel 5
The two approach Stephanie’s spacecraft. About the size of a Star Trek shuttle. A few steps leading up to the door.
Stephanie: Adolescence? Does he have a girlfriend yet?
Nicole: Well … he’s got the hots for the daughter of the guy we’re going to sue.
Panel 6
Stephanie is struggling on the few steps into her ship.
Stephanie: Ooof.
Nicole: Yeah, it’s an unfortunate circumstance.
Stephanie: No, I mean help me get into my boat. I hate this gravity.
