Strip 312 -- First Seen: 2009-11-24
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
Wide panel, establishing shot of Reggie's luxury suite aboard the Delta Free. At the moment he is unpacking his suitcase, which is laying on the queen-sized bed. In the background, there is a large wall panel which is currently set to view the Martian landscape outside the ship.

Reggie: That cold, dead Marsscape will be transformed in a few years ...

Reggie: Rather like this vessel was transformed from the death-dealing Gamma Conqueror into the life-affirming spaceliner Delta Free.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Reggie, looking a bit pleased with himself.

Reggie:And to think I had a hand in both of these transformations.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Reggie looking at himself in the bureau mirror. Over his shoulder, in the mirror we see Reggie's reflected image and also a more ghostly image of 'Joe King' over Reggie's shoulder.

Reggie: I can't undo my past sins, but if 'Joe King' ever comes knocking again, I'll be able to stand taller.
