Strip 311 -- First Seen: 2009-11-23
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, carrying a medium-sized suitcase, is walking through the concourse at Mars' spaceport, and talking on his comm. The place is busy but not crowded. Show a few other people in the background.

Reggie: No, Babbette, I haven't heard from Bert or Ernie. Did they say where on Mars they were going?

Panel 2
He's at the gate from which his space-liner, the Delta Free, is departing. The procedure here is more like checking into a hotel than boarding a modern-day airliner. He shows a card to the attendant, which identifies him to her. She smiles as she keys something into the small console at her stand.

Reggie: Yes, I know, but they're big boys who can take care of themselves.

Attendant: Thank you, Sv. King. Your suite is ready.


Panel 3
Reggie, seen from behind, walks through some pressure doors. Above or beside the door we see an electonic sign reading: GATE 17 DELTA FREE bound for CERES.

Reggie: Yes, I'm coming back on the Delta Free. Should be home in about two decadays.


Panel 4
Medium shot of Reggie walking through the connecting tunnel to the spaceliner.

Reggie: It has to do with acceleration and the two planets' relative orbital positions ...

Reggie: Let's just say, 'I cannae change the laws o' physics' and leave it at that, okay?
