Strip 376 -- First Seen: 2010-02-22
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
Large panel, the Mandala Hotel looms ever larger as the Fokker with the girls and Buzz move closer.

Doris: Okay, I get how Arana mostly made the rock sculptures out here, but building that wheel would take enormous resources.

Doris: How the heck did this thing get here?

Panel 2
Close in on the Fokker cockpit, we see the girls and Buzz flying over them.

Buzz: Do you remember the project to build a cislunar wheel that would perpetually transit from Earth to Luna in a figure-eight orbit?

Doris: This is it?

Panel 3
Just Buzz, smallish in the panel leaving room for all the dialog.

Buzz: Yes, Doris. The 'cislunar transit wheel' was a cover story.

Buzz: The original contractor declared 'bankruptcy' and a Martian cut-out corporation bought the wheel. Once it left Earth orbit, it was forgotten by everyone.

Buzz: The wheel and everything else in this park was transported to L4 using stealth technology.
