Strip 273 -- First Seen: 2009-09-30
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
Medium ¾ shot of Reggie, leaning back against the table behind him. He has a very slight smile.

Reggie: Okay, I get it.

Reggie: Back in the day, commercial and military pilots saw lots of strange things in the sky.

Panel 2
Wider shot, including side-view of Reggie and some of the students, who are starting to relax a bit. They are figuring out Reggie doesn't think they're crazy.

Reggie: Those that honestly reported what they saw, were taken off flight duty.

Reggie: Their bosses didn't want to have 'crazy' pilots in control over heavy armaments or the lives of hundreds of passengers.

Panel 3
Looking at Irina and some of the other students, looking back at Reggie with growing appreciation and trust.

Reggie: Of course, the law of unintended consequences made sure any pilot – crazy or not – who saw something out of the ordinary 'kept mouth shut' too.


Panel 4
Medium shot of Reggie, in a thoughtful pose.

Reggie: Okay, tell me about the music.
