Strip 304 -- First Seen: 2009-11-12
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
Largish panel, partly to hold all of Ken's dialog. Elevated view of all 3 men in the office, all leaning forward in their seats and engaged in their conversation.

Peña: In our case, there were no simple harmonic resonances from the wind. So no problem.

Ken: Okay, so we have non-linear dynamics which, though highly deterministic, are extremely sensitive to initial conditions.

Ken: What that yields, in musical terms, is 'variations on a theme.'

Panel 2
Medium shot of Ken, looking at Reggie. Leave lots of room for dialog.

Ken: What I don't get is why everyone had the hallucinations and why they were so strong.

Ken: One does not normally take a stroll in near vacuum in his birthday suit just because he hears some music.

Panel 3
Focus on Reggie, but include Ken in the shot, who is looking surprised. Reggie is excitedly springing his big news, gesturing broadly with his hands.
Reggie: Right! I knew there has to be something else at work here -- and there is.

Reggie: The really good news is that the answer could mean an enormous leap forward in the terraformation of Mars!
