Strip 377 -- First Seen: 2010-02-23
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
The plane is arcing around towards the hotel's central spin-axis, lining up with a 20-meter-wide tunnel running through the thick part of the disk. The entrance to the tunnel has a surrounding 'collar' extending another 5 meters from the side-surface, that houses traffic-control and related functions.

Buzz: We are entering computer controlled air space.

Panel 2
Side-view of the Fokker entering the central tunnel. Think of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey at the point where the Pan America shuttle is entering the giant wheel-like space station.

Buzz: Mandala's approach control will dock your craft automatically.

Panel 3
They are now in the tunnel. The tunnel has openings to docking bays all the way around, some of them containing various wacky aircraft.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Robot arms have gently seized the Fokker and are pulling it into one of the bays.

Doris: Easy does it.
