Strip 127 -- First Seen: 2009-03-10
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

QV on a short break

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.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Guy seated at table with Babbette standing beside him stage right.

Guy: You do know? How can you know?

Babbette: I know, but I don't know if I can tell you.

Panel 2
Same shot. Now Guy is acting a bit melodramatic, holding his left hand up to his left temple, fingers splayed out in an 'oh woe is me' gesture. Now Babbette looks annoyed.

Guy: It is true as they say that none are so cruel as children...

Babbette: All right, geez, I'll tell ya.

Panel 3
Same shot. Guy is all ears. Babbette has her arms crossed as she spills the beans.

Babbette: Sov. Stellina got a new PDA and a new account and left her old Comm in her room here at the boarding house.

Panel 4
Same shot. Guy has leaned forward (and a bit upward) and pulled Babbette's face sideways down to his so he can kiss her affectionately on the cheek. (He actually moves most of the distance to her and only gently pulls her a short distance towards him.)

Babbette: Hey! Knock it off!
