Strip 318 -- First Seen: 2009-12-02
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!

Panel 2
In the main control cabin of the Split-Tail, looking past Fiorella towards Doris. Fiorella is suppressing a giggle as Doris speaks..

Doris: ISO standards allow you to claim only as much of the rock that is within a 500 meter sphere, based on whatever center-point you describe in your stake monuments

Doris: So there is no way you can claim the whole damned thing.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Doris.

Doris: So kindly define your center-point so that we can stake and claim whichever part isn't within your spherical claim.

Panel 4
Looking past Fiorella who is looking at Doris. Doris is mouthing a word at her.

Doris (silently): LASERS.
