Strip 256 -- First Seen: 2009-09-07
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
The elevator/crawler ascending the ribbon, high over The Little Prince.

Caption: And so, the Brothers Guzmán and Commander Drenkowski rode the nano-ribbon back up to Damocles Station, 38 kilometers above The Little Prince.

Panel 2
The Little Toot emerges from Damocles' space doors.

Caption: Refueled, provisioned, and with Johnson's deep-frozen corpse stored on board, Little Toot departed from the unique planetoid and it's equally unique moonlet.

Bert (from Toot): Hi Reggie, just checking in ...

Panel 3
Inside Toot's pilot compartment, Ernie listens as Bert talks on his comm.

Bert: Yeah, we finished our delivery …

Bert: No, I can't tell you about it. We are under NDA …

Bert: Yeah, I love you too.


Panel 4
Same shot. Ernie's looking out the window, attention wandering

Bert: Listen, something has come up and we need to make a little detour to Mars.

Bert: Any problem extending Little Toot's lease a few more days?

Bert: No? That's great.
