Strip 192 -- First Seen: 2009-06-09
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
Smyth walking up the street, towards our right. At the far right of the panel we see a narrow gap between buildings, and The Pale Man hiding in the gap. Smyth is focused on the brochure he's holding in front of his face with his right hand.

No dialog.


Panel 2
Smyth walks past the gap, not noticing the Pale Man who is now emerging with an icepick in his right hand.

No dialog.


Panel 3
The Pale Man rams the icepick into the back of Myth's neck, just at the base of his skull.

SFX: Chkt!

Smyth (small letters): Ut!

Panel 4
As Smyth collapses slowly in the Cererean gravity, the Pale Man takes the attaché case from the dead man's hand.

Pale Man: I'll take that.
