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
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris in the Split-Tail cabin.

Doris: So what is that thing, anyway?

Fiorella: Well, it looks like a Moai.

Panel 2
View of one of the monitors on the console, showing us for the first time what the asteroid looks like. It very strongly resembles one of the famous “Easter Island Head” carvings. We can see Fiorella's hand pointing to it.

Fiorella: Huge prehistoric carvings found on Easter Island, on Terra.

Fiorella: They look like what we saw, but a way lot smaller.

Panel 3
We see Doris in foreground right, looking thoughtfully at the monitor. In the background left Fiorella continues her mini-discourse.
Fiorella: Some people think the natives of Easter Island didn't have the technology to quarry, transport, carve and erect the Moai.

Doris: Then who do they think made them?

Panel 4
Medium shot of Fiorella, looking unsure of herself as she speaks.
Fiorella (quietly): Aliens.
