Strip 106 -- First Seen: 2009-02-09
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Back To Normal... Yay!

And we're back! Scott's power and Internet was restored a few days ago, and Scott spent that time since diligently working to get the next strip up. Also, please consider supporting Scott through Patreon or Subscribestar to help keep Quantum Vibe going! You can find links to them on this page, and enjoy today's fresh strip!

Please Stand By

As many of you may have heard, huricane Beryl caused a lot of damage to buildings and infrastructure in the Houston area. It also took out power and Internet service on Galveston Island where Scott lives. As a consequence, uploads of Quantum Vibe will be delayed until power and Internet services are restored. Hopefully it will only effect Monday's strip, but we can't promise anything at this point. In any event, we will resume uploads as soon as possible. Please check back here for further developments.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
We are back in the UWRS High Commissioner's office. This time Guy is absent, instead, his Chief stands on the other side of the desk. (This time we will have varying angles rather than one shot used repeatedly.)

High Commissioner: 80 Billion Continentals. This 'King Reginald' character must think we're idiots.

Chief: Our legal department confirms that his reading of our laws and treaties is correct.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of the High Commissioner, banging his fist on his desk with barely-contained anger
HC: Then we need a new legal department! Laws exist to help us implement policy, not to impede us!

Panel 3
Looking over the HC's shoulder at the Chief, who is looking uncomfortable.

HC: This is on the QT, understand? Our internal financial projections indicate we face a world-wide meltdown if we don't get an infusion of Three Trillion Continentals into our system.

Panel 4
Two-shot of HC and Chief, whatever angle you like so that we can see both of their faces.

Chief: Why don't we go after the tax havens here on Earth?

HC: If we did we'd be stepping on the toes of very powerful people. Smarten up.
