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
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?
