Strip 206 -- First Seen: 2009-06-29
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
In a corridor, Ernie and Bert greet Drenkowski in person. It's zero gee, so legs are tucked and everyone is holding onto a hand rail. Ernie and Drenkowski are shaking hands.

Drenkowski: Welcome, gentlemen. If you are ready, I will be taking you to the surface.

Drenkowski: Are you in any discomfort due to the zero gravity at this facility?

Panel 2
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie, smiling confidently

Bert and Ernie: No problem.

Ernie: We're from Ceres, same difference.

Panel 3
Looking past the brothers at Drenkowski, who is looking concerned.

Drenkowski: Are you able to deal with substantially higher gravities?

Bert: Are you planning to pull some fancy, high-gee maneuvers on the flight down?

Panel 4
Looking past Drenkowski at the brothers, who look both surprised and a bit skeptical at what their host is telling them.

Drenkowski: No, we'll be taking the elevator.

Drenkowski (2): But the surface gravity is .61 gees. Can you handle that?
