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
Large panel. The Moai-head asteroid is now surrounded by several ships of varioius types, with the Alpha Relentless stannding off only about 50 meters from it.

Relentless crewman: I count 37 craft in range now, sir..

Crewman: Thirty-five licensed media, two VIP yachts.

Panel 2
In the Relentless control deck, the crewman, F.O. Darling, and Captain Gondalia. Gondalia is a middle-aged East Indian, balding, pencil-moustache, wiry, exudes self-discipline and control. He is arching a disapproving eyebrow at Darling. (Don't forget, weightless environment).

Crewman: 40 craft now ...

Darling: I say we laser a couple of the newsies and the rest will scatter.

Gondalia: Are you mad?

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Gondalia, looking decisive.

Gondalia: We must regain control of the situation with minimal impact.

Gondalia: And I know just how we will do that.
