Strip 204 -- First Seen: 2009-06-25
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
Little Toot descends towards the mysterious 'moon' locked in synchronous orbit just inside The Little Prince's airskin. Toot's main burner is not firing, but some small maneuvering thrusters are, guiding it in. The 'moon' looks like a dark, volcanic rock about 700 meters across. At this point it's still about 4 klicks away.

Caption: Still under external control, Little Toot descended toward's The Little Prince's impossible 'moon,' locked in synchronous orbit, just within the airskin.

Panel 2
Now Toot is very close to the 'moon' and they can see a circular portion of it, about 100 meters across and polished to a high sheen, protruding slightly outside the air skin. Toot is headed straight for it.

Ernie (whispering, from inside Toot): Welcome to Muni-Mula.

Panel 3
Now, a rectangular panel within the circular area, almost as large as the circle, opens to admit Toot, which glides into it. The interior is pitch black.

Bert (from inside Toot): What's 'Muni-Mula?'

Panel 4
Toot is now through the portal, and the panel begins to close.

Ernie (from inside Toot): It's 'aluminum' spelled backwards.
