Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Re-establish the scene: Looking from above and behind the captive Young and Harris, Emily steps past Reggie to speak with Bert. We can also see Fiorella and her camera.

Caption: As the surviving member of the murdered Rose family, it is left to Emily to decide the fate of Admiral Harris and his weapons officer.

Emily: Sov. Guzmán, my guns were destroyed when my home ...

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Emily, pausing in a fight against the urge to cry. Her head is bowed forward, here eyes clamped shut, her mouth clenched, tears streaming down her face.

No dialog.

Panel 3
Same camera angle, now she's standing straight and wiping the tears away on her sleeve.

Emily: My guns were destroyed.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Bert and Emily. Bert is handing Emily his Colt 1911 (nothing fancy, although it does have adjustable sights).

Emily: May I borrow your colt?
Panel 5
Emily has moved towards Harris and now stands before him, the Colt gripped in both of her hands, pointed downward at the moment. Put her in the left part of the frame and Harris in the right. We also see Young in the far right of the frame, eyes as large as saucers. Harris is scornfully defiant as ever.

Harris: Is this supposed to scare me?


Panel 6
Close-up on Harris, laughing.

Harris : Hand a teenager an unloaded gun so she can psychologically terrorize me?

Harris (2): Don't try to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs.

Harris (3): Do your damnedest, little girl.


Panel 7
Two-shot from the side, Emily shoots Harris square in the chest. If room permits show Young looking on in horror.

SFX: BLAMM!!
