Strip 159 -- First Seen: 2009-04-23
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Back To Normal... Yay!

And we're back! Scott's power and Internet was restored a few days ago, and Scott spent that time since diligently working to get the next strip up. Also, please consider supporting Scott through Patreon or Subscribestar to help keep Quantum Vibe going! You can find links to them on this page, and enjoy today's fresh strip!

Please Stand By

As many of you may have heard, huricane Beryl caused a lot of damage to buildings and infrastructure in the Houston area. It also took out power and Internet service on Galveston Island where Scott lives. As a consequence, uploads of Quantum Vibe will be delayed until power and Internet services are restored. Hopefully it will only effect Monday's strip, but we can't promise anything at this point. In any event, we will resume uploads as soon as possible. Please check back here for further developments.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Wide panel. Dominating the panel on the left side is an external view of the Gamma Conqueror's starboard side (the ship will extend a bit out of the top and bottom of the frame). On the right side, the five-meter iron rock tumbles past, and we can now see that a mining ship (about 3 meters across and 5 meters long) has been trailing the asteroid and is now swinging around towards the bridge of the larger ship.

Caption: As the iron rocks tumble past the Strike Force ships, the small mining ships they had been concealing swing into view...

Panel 2
Interior, the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror. Harris and the crew look upward in the alarm at the mining ship they can see through their canopy, directly facing them. A laser cannon is aimed at them. If space permits we might see one of the Beta-class ships in a similar predicament.
Caption: Maneuvering with their guidance rockets, each of those little ships has its multi-megawatt cutting laser aimed directly at the bridges of the Strike Force ships.
