Strip 277 -- First Seen: 2009-10-06
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
Bringing in and stowing supplies for Reggie's 10-day stay. Show Reggie hefting 2 medium sized boxes on one shoulder and what looks like a SCUBA tank (really an oxygen cylinder) under the opposite arm. Irina is stowing smaller boxes in a floor-to-ceiling cabinet. (Remember, Martian gravity.)

Reggie: This appears to be the last of it.

Irina: Yes, all you need for your decaday here.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Reggie and Irina. Reggie smiles and shrugs. Irina gets her back up.

Reggie: Well, I wouldn't say everything.

Irina: Sov. King, I must insist we keep things professional.

Panel 3
Reggie is taken aback, struggles to regain his composure. Irina smiles, enjoying his discomfort.

Reggie: Prof –! I assure you, I meant nothing untoward.

Irina: Of course! Is joke. I told you I stink at jokes.

Panel 4
Irina shakes Reggie's hand like a man would. Reggie looks defeated.

Irina: I leave now. Good luck, Reggie.
