Strip 178 -- First Seen: 2009-05-20
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
Side-view of Emily, Reggie, Harris' corpse, Young. Emily is shooting Young in the head.

SFX: BLAMM!

Panel 2
Holding the still-smoking gun pointed downward in her right hand, Emily walks towards Bert. Show as many of the other Cerereans as space permits. She is looking downcast.
No dialog.

Panel 3
Emily hands Bert his gun back, handle first [but pointed downward; gun safety requires that she must not “cover” herself or anyone else]. Emily is still downcast, Bert is somber. Babbette is moving past the others towards Emily and Bert.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Emily collapses into Bert's arms, weeping uncontrollably. Babbette is next to them, laying a comforting hand on her shoulder. If space permits show Fiorella turning off her camera.
