Strip 335 -- First Seen: 2009-12-25
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
Looking in through the broad pilot's viewport of Lust in Space, we see five women, 4 young and beautiful, the fifth just slightly more mature-looking (Capt. Lili), looking out in wonderment:

First Officer Mimi: That is just too weird!

Captain Lili (the older one): And look at the head on that thing!

Panel 2
Looking under the bottom of Lust in Space, we see the UW Alpha Relentless approaching.

Darling (from Relentless): Ahoy the bang bus. We are coming up on your aft.

Darling: Move away from the Artifact.

Panel 3
In the LIS control cabin. The girls are looking at each other and grinning:

Darling (filtered): This object is being duly claimed by UW Alpha Relentless in the name of the United World. Do not move any closer.

Lili: Girls, I think it's that Darling guy from the vid!

Panel 4
Lili touches a button on the console.

Lili: Hello … Darling. We are all waiting for you to come up our aft.

Lili: We are wet with anticipation.

Panel 5
Group shot of the girls, all laughing uproariously.

All: Ha ha ha Hee hee hee Ha ha ha Tee hee hee

Panel 6
Cut to the control deck of the Relentless. Darling glowers in anger as Captian Gondalia, behind him, suppresses a giggle. The crewman smirks too.

From LIS (filtered): Ha ha ha Tee hee hee Ha ha ha snicker-snicker

Panel 7
Medium close-up of the crewman, alerted by something on his console.

Crewman: Uh, {cough} sir, I show 14 more ships moving into range …

Crewman: Correction: make that 35 ships.

Panel 8
Medium shot of Darling doing a face-palm. We can see Gondalia behind him, just looking grim.

Crewman (OP): Er, make that 117 ships …
