Strip 299 -- First Seen: 2009-11-05
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
Inside the transport. Let's show a view from behind Irina and Reggie, looking forward through the windscreen at the inky outside, with only an oval of ice in front of them illuminated by the Transport's headlamps.

Irina: You are not going to tell about our – hallucinations?

Reggie: A promise is a promise. But I hope to persuade you all to release me from that vow.

Panel 2
Frontal view of Reggie and Irina. She is putting a finger to her ear, where she has a tiny Comm earpiece.
Reggie: Please get on the T-net and call all the others.

Reggie: We need to have a meeting before I talk to Dr. Peña.

Irina: You got it.

Panel 3
Near an inside transport airlock at the main station. Dr. Peña is standing by on the left, waiting for Reggie, but is surprised as Reggie waves him off, walking toward the right. Irina walks alongside Reggie, glancing at Peña but saying nothing. To the right we can see a gaggle of the grad students.
Caption: Eight centimes later:

Reggie (to Peña): Sorry, can't talk now. We need to do some further research.


Panel 4
Reggie glances back over his shoulder as he walks away with the grad students. If room permits show the ¾ back of Peña's head.
Reggie: I'll be in your office at .40, tomorrow.
Reggie: Please ask Dr. Nightingale to be there, too.
