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 15
Nine panels
Panel 1
Guy, Fiorella and Babbette. A bit larger panel with some background re-establishing the scene, and having room for the EFT logo. It’s Fiorella’s turn to speak. Guy is leaning over a bit to whisper in Fiorella’s ear.

Fiorella: But shouldn’t you be in school?

Babbette: My mom educates me, but I also take classes at church and from tutors.

Guy (whispering to Fiorella): Home schooling, religious indoctrination – the UW has a lot of work to do out here.

Panel 2
Guy speaks to Babbette

Guy: Yes, Agent Guzmán, but why aren’t you in a government school?

Panel 3
Tight close-up on Babbette, looking bewildered

Babbette: Governments have schools?

Panel 4
Two-shot of Guy and Fiorella, startled to realize the implication of that last remark.

Guy: Er …

Fiorella: How about you direct us to a hotel? We need to sleep and clean up before we meet with representatives of your government.

Panel 5
Medium-shot of Babbette, brightening and gesturing over her shoulder

Babbette: There’s an excellent boarding house near-by. I’ll take you there! Please follow me.


Panel 6
Small panel. Babbette has turned and is leaning forward at an almost 30 degree angle.

Panel 7
Wide panel. Babbette has lanched herself and is gliding in a long arc several meters long and a few inches above the ground. Behind her are Guy and Fiorella, taken aback.

Panel 8
Medium shot of Babbette standing by her golf cart, looking back at the Terrans with tilted head, arched eyebrow – an 'are you coming or not' expression.
