Strip 167 -- First Seen: 2009-05-05
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
Medium shot of Fiorella at her console, continuing to offer surrender terms.

Fiorella: We take Harris into custody and anyone in the chain of command who ordered or carried out the murders of de León and the Rose family ...

Panel 2
On the Gamma bridge, an unhappy Kruger in the foreground. The Weapons Officer can be seen in the background, looking like he's about to shit his pants.

Kruger: Murder? That was a legitimate ...

Fiorella (filtered): Can it, Captain.

Fiorella (2): Maybe you can't admit it out loud, but we all know it was murder, plain and simple.

Panel 3
Kruger is looking straight ahead now, with his jaw set. The Weapons Officer is resting/hiding his face in his hands.

Kruger (thought): Hell, I agree with her. Butcher Harris has always been a disgrace to the Service.

Panel 4
Now looking at a downward angle on Kruger, who is looking up at the Split-Tail.

Kruger: Alright, Ms. Stellina, let's say we comply with your … request.

Kruger (2): What then?
