Strip 158 -- First Seen: 2009-04-22
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's office. Guy is at his computer station, monitoring the radio traffic. Bert is standing by.

Guy: Unfortunately, Reggie's little 'present' is discovered. He will not be able to complete his plan.

Panel 2
Guy and Bert.

Bert: What do you think Harris will do now?

Guy: He will likely strike at another target. Maybe even the city.

Panel 3
Bert can't believe what he's hearing.

Bert: That makes no sense! He'll destroy a large chunk of the wealth the UW wants to collect!

Panel 4
Guy looks up at Bert with tired but patient eyes.

Guy: My friend, you grew up on Ceres, and don't understand the authoritarian mind as I do.

Guy (2): What the UW wants most of all is obedience.
