Strip 278 -- First Seen: 2009-10-07
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
Reggie sits in the control room (which we saw before in Manjula's account of finding Roger's log book), feet propped up on the console, reading a book. Throughout this sequence he's wearing a t-shirt and loose cotton lounging pants, and slippers. There are three other books also resting on the console.

No dialog.

Panel 2
Reggie sits at the table in the galley, writing in a journal. A mug of some beverage is on the table before him.

Journal entry: Day 2 – as boring as the first. I can only read my books for so many hours in a day.

Panel 3
Still in the galley but now cooking something on the electric cook-stove.

Journal entry: Can consume some time cooking. Otherwise I pace around the station like a caged leopard.

Panel 4
Looking out a window at pitch black.

Journal entry: Looking out the window is useless. It's really, really dark at Mars' South Pole in mid-winter.
