Strip 373 -- First Seen: 2010-02-17
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
Medium close-up of Doris in the cockpit of the Fokker, with Buzz buzzing close-by so they can converse.

Doris: Hey Buzz, can I actually fly this thing?

Panel 2
This panel is just Buzz, in the lower left quadrant, with the rest of the balloon filled with massive dialog.

Buzz: Most certainly, Doris.

Buzz: It comes complete with authentic controls of the era. It will also take voice commands. For passenger safety, the craft's AI is programmed with a collision avoidance system that makes it impossible to accidentally or intentionally run into anything. There is also an emergency remote control override, in case a guest becomes incapacitated.

Panel 3
Wide panel. To the left, the Fokker with the girls aboard is revving its engine, while Buzz makes a trail out the hangar bay door at the far end of the hanger and into the Park.

Buzz: Now please follow me to Hotel Mandala and your suite.
