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

Strip 13

Panel 1
Wide shot of the bustling spaceport terminal. Guy and Fiorella are looking about, trying to get their bearings. We see more than a dozen people moving about, most doing the peculiar Cererean glide-walk, some portering large boxes of material on carts on spindly wheels and with pairs of 20cm fans mounted at the front and back. Two or three are bounding Superman-like from the floor level to hatchways located 3-4 meters above the floor, or gliding down to the floor from the upper level via railings placed for that purpose.

Guy: Hmmm. No welcoming committee.

Guy (2): Do you see an information booth?

Fiorella: No.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Guy and Fiorella, close enough we only see them from chest-up. They’re still looking around. Guy is exasperated.

Guy: How the Hitchens are we going to find who’s in charge here?

Panel 3
Same shot, only now Guy and Fiorella are a bit startled by the voice coming from below the panel frame.

Voice: Excuse me…


Panel 4
Looking down on BABBETTE GUZMÁN. She appears to be an 11-year-old girl, with wavy red hair and vaguely Asiatic eyes, and is wearing a baseball cap with “Ceres Spaceport Agent” silk-screened across the front.


Babette: May I help you, sir and madam?
