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.

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?
