Strip 363 -- First Seen: 2010-02-03
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
Back in Arana's office. From behind Arana's desk we see Reggie's hologram and the girls as they were before. Fiorella is speaking.

Fiorella: So, Mysto, I guess you pulled off the Orb-to-Elvis transformation the same way you shrink-wrapped Phobos in an Easter-Egg colored skin.

Panel 2
Cut to an image of the Martian moonlet Phobos, painted like an Easter Egg, orbiting over Mars.
Fiorella's head in an inset provides the narration:

Fiorella: You really pissed off the Mars, Inc. Board of Directors. They wanted your hide.

Panel 3
Back in the office, medium shot of Arana behind his desk, smiling impishly.

Arana: It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Arana: If I'd asked, they would undoubtedly have said no.
