Strip 241 -- First Seen: 2009-08-17
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 the control cabin of the Stealth Ship, Commander Drenkowski is seated in the pilot's acceleration couch. We can hear Tobi's voice but can't see him in this frame.

Tobi (electronic, OP): You're certain you've neutralized all booby-traps, Commander Drenkowski?

Drenkowski: As certain as can be, Tobi.

Panel 2
Looking over Drenkowski's shoulder at the flight control panel, we can see a somewhat anxious-looking Tobi on a holographic viewscreen.

Drenkowski: This thing is a treasure trove of hard intelligence.

Tobi: Just be careful.

Panel 3
External view of the Stealth Craft lifting off from the ice berg.

Drenkowski: (from craft) Hey, I'm supposed to be the professional paranoid here.

Panel 4
The Stealth Ship, now a dark grey coloring, arcs towards The Little Prince's air skin.

Drenkowski: I'm coming in through the skin. Have the forensics team assemble at the aerodrome.
