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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Split-panel with close-ups of both Fiorella and Doris, looking disconcerted. The dialog will lay across both panels.

Radio voice: Ahoy the rock wrangler. Stand off!

Panel 2
Medium shot of the UWS Alpha Relentless, coming around from behind a corner of the asteroid.

Relentless voice: This asteroid has been duly claimed, staked and registered by UW Alpha Relentless in the name of the United World. Do not come closer.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Doris, with a bemused expression.

Doris: And good day to you, Nameless Voice.

Doris: This is Capt. Doris Taylor of the Split-Tail, out of Ceres. Care to identify yourself?

Panel 4
Different angle on Doris.

Relentless Voice: I said ....
Doris: No, you didn't. You told me the name of your boat. Who are you?
