Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large establishing shot of the Ceres spaceport terminal. Guy is standing a few meters away from the escalator landing. He clearly doesn’t have as much trouble in the low-gee as he did on his last visit. He is carrying a diplomatic valise, looking around. There are a few people milling around, but no one he knows.

Guy (thought): I did T-mail the Guzmáns that I was coming on this ship.

Guy (thought 2): I also T-mailed Fiorella, but she never responded.

Panel 2

Small panel. Three-quarters view of Caillard, from about the hips up, looking disappointed.

Guy: Has no one come to meet me?


Panel 3
Same shot, but now Caillard is turning in reaction to a familiar voice coming from over his shoulder.

Voice: Hi Guy, it’s me, Babbette!


Guy: Babbette, is that y--
Panel 4


Babbette collides into Guy with a warm hug, knocking the wind out of him. Babbette is 14 Terran Years old now, so she’s 20cm taller and starting to get jail-bait curvy. Her clothes are a bit different and her hair is tied back now rather than in pigtails but she’s still wearing the Ceres Spaceport Agent cap.

Guy: -- OOF!


Panel 5
As Guy somewhat self-consciously disentangles himself from Babbette, Reggie King walks up to greet him. Reggie is wearing a blue work shirt and jeans, looking casual. Guy does a double take as he recognizes the King in such casual habiliments.

Guy: Who – ah! King Reginald?


Panel 6
Guy starts to bow but Reggie stops him with a gentle hand on the shoulder. Standing behind Guy, Babbette giggles.

Reggie: Hey, hey, hey. Someone might see us.


Panel 7
Three-shot of Reggie, Guy and Babbette. Guy straightens up, points a finger at his eyebrow, winks. Reggie and Babbette look perplexed.

Guy: Oh, I see, Your Majesty. You are here incognito. I understand.
