Strip 168 -- First Seen: 2009-05-06
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
Exterior view of the two ships, the Split-Tail with its cutting laser aimed at the Gamma Conqueror bridge.

Fiorella (filtered): We keep the Gamma Conqueror, as partial reparations, free any crew members wishing to escape from Terra and send the rest of you back home.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Kruger, who appears to be intrigued by the suggestion Fiorella makes here.
Fiorella (filtered): Under the circumstances, I think you might want to consider becoming a Cererean, Captain Kruger.

Fiorella (2): We might even put you in charge of your boat again … in service to King and Country, of course.

Panel 3
Cut to inside the Gamma Conqueror's shuttle's cargo bay, with Reggie still standing there holding his dead-man's switch.

Reggie: Hey, I like that.

Reggie (2): Now, will somebody tell these guys not to shoot me so I can disarm this thing and we can all go home?
