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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie is sitting up in bed, propped up on pillows, reading a book. There is wind-sound which he's presently ignoring.

SFX: woooooooooooooo


Panel 2
Exterior view of the Array, with a focus on the girder assemblies holding up the dishes. It's dark outside, but through the magic of comics we can see the girders, with white streaks indicating the wind ululating through the girders.
SFX: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Panel 3
Back in Reggie's sleeping chamber, he is startled by a sudden shift in the wind-sound.
SFX: woooooowwWWWAAAAAIIILLLLL

Panel 4
Reggie shakes his fist at the ceiling and shouts, but there's enough smile on his face that we can see he's not really serious.
Reggie: Show yourselves, ghosts of Mars!
SFX: WWWAAAAAIIILLLLL
