Strip 319 -- First Seen: 2009-12-03
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
Medium shot of Fiorella manipulating controls at her console.

Fiorella (thought): OK, lasers are hot. Better also have the stake firing computer get a ballistic solution for that Alpha.

Fiorella (thought): This is getting interesting.

Panel 2
F.O. Darling at his station, now looking angry.

Darling: Wait a second. I know who you are!

Darling: You're that bitch that threatened to turn your laser on the Gamma Conqueror!

Panel 3
Medium shot of Doris, with a faintly evil grin.
Doris: Darling, I did turn my laser on the Conqueror..

Doris: My kind-hearted yeoman here graciously allowed those pirates to live.

Panel 4
Medium shot of Darling at his station, looking alarmed and even more angry. If possible, show another crewman in the background looking on.
Doris (filtered): And, my Darling, don't you think 'bitch' is an awfully harsh term to be calling someone who is aiming her multi-megawatt laser at your soft underbelly?
