Strip 209 -- First Seen: 2009-07-02
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
Inside the elevator. They're still fairly high up – outside background is darker towards the top of the frame and lighter towards the bottom. We can't see any horizon. Drenkowski and the brothers are standing lightly on their feet, enjoying the scenery below them.

Panel 2
Same shot. Drenkowski is standing more solidly. They are low enough now so that some clouds can be seen above horizon in the background. The horizon itself is still lower than it “ought” to be and strongly curved. The brothers are standing normally and they use the hand-rail to steady themselves. They look at one another in consternation.

Panel 3
Same shot. Drenkowski is looking bemusedly at the brothers, who are looking decidedly uncomfortable as they struggle to remain standing. Horizon is has just a very slight curve.
