Strip 341 -- First Seen: 2010-01-04
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
In the center, a large sphere, about a kilometer in diameter (make it about one-fourth the height of the panel). It is surrounded (englobed, actually, by scores (hundreds, really, but you can fake it) of ships, all standing off at about 3 kilometers distance. The globe itself is almost perfectly reflective, so its surface looks black and full of stars.

Caption: This time the first ship on the scene was a UW Beta-class ship, but within hours, the volume around the latest object was packed with newsies and the curious.

Caption: The UW Beta didn't even try to control the situation. It was just another witness to the strangeness.

Caption: The 'Orb,' as the media were calling it, did nothing but sit there and look significant. Possibly for that reason, no one ventured closer than 3 kilometers, giving everyone a front-row 'seat.'
