On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Guy's office at the King's Court. Same description as before, except that he has added a few personal decorations near the desktop computer. Include a scale-model Eiffel Tower paperweight. Three or four framed photos on the wall, plus a placard reading “Chancellor of the Exchequer.” (We may not see all of this in the first panel.)

Reggie is standing next to Guy who is seated at his computer desk. Guy is looking down at the PDA on his wrist.

Reggie: Still have that United Worlds-issue PDA?

Reggie: Most immigrants ditch theirs and get Belter-made hardware.

Panel 2
Reggie and Guy.

Reggie: It's not chauvanism, mind you. Those UW-made Comms are made to be open to UW snooping. They're not secure.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Guy seated, contemplating his fancy wrist-PDA.
Guy: That may be, but this one also contains codes giving me access to UWRS channels. Should we need to parlez with the Terran government, this could be useful.

Panel 4
Reggie is turning to leave. Guy is returning his attention to the computer.

Reggie: In that case, go see Bert and get your PDA hacked to make it secure against UW snooping, all right?

Guy: Oui.
