Strip 280 -- First Seen: 2009-10-09
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 is asleep in his bed. We see the book he's been reading on the nightstand. Throughout this strip and until he prepares to leave the station, he's not wearing anything except sometimes his slippers (the floor is cold). Right now, he has a comforter pulled up to chest-level.

Disembodied voice: Reggie ….

Panel 2
Reggie sits bolt upright in his bed.

Disembodied voice: Reggie ….

Reggie: Damned wind.

Panel 3
Reggie is lying down again as before. But one eye pops wide open as he hears his name again.

Disembodied voice: Reggie ….

SFX: (musical notes)
Reggie (thought): Great! The auditory hallucinations have to come when I'm trying to sleep!

Panel 4
Reggie has covered his head with the spare pillow.

Voice: Reggie! You have to solve this mystery, now wake up and get to work!


Panel 5
Reggie sitting up again. Frame the panel so we only see him from the waist up. He's naked but we don't need to see his junk. We do see one hand throwing off the comforter.

Reggie: Well, that's not the wind.

Panel 6
This should be the largest panel on the page. Standing beside his bed, Reggie is startled to see the form of Fiorella, standing near the foot of his bed. She is dressed in a see-through nightie. Her breasts are larger than usual, almost like a Will Elder drawing of Little Annie Fanny. We see Reggie from behind, focus should be on Fiorella.

No dialog.

Panel 7
Medium close-up on Fiorella, finger pointing on her chin coquettishly.

Fiorella: Forget something, Reggie?

Panel 8
Waist-up, frontal shot of Reggie, looking downward in the realization that he's naked.

Fiorealla (OP): Come on, figure it out.
