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

Panel 1
Largish panel. Looking past Fiorella and her camera, Emily and Reggie at Harris and Young. Young is looking away from Harris now, looking desperately like he wants to be a billion miles away. Harris is sneering.

Harris: It was a legal action under UW law.

Harris (2): To bad for them, but they were just collateral damage, just hors de combat, so there's nothing you can do about it.

Panel 2
Smallish panel, close-up on Reggie, speaking quietly through gritted teeth.

Reggie: Oh yes, there is something we can do about it.

Panel 3
Reggie leans forward towards Emily so that he is facing her eye-to-eye.

Reggie: Emily, I am sorry you have to be here, but you know why you are.

Reggie (2): What shall we do about this?

Panel 4
From behind Harris, looking towards the Cerereans. Emily looks levelly at Harris.

No dialog.
