Strip 379 -- First Seen: 2010-02-25
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
Wide panel, the lobby of the Hotel Mandala. Medium shot of the girls as they turn to greet the voice that had called to them. The Girls are met by Herr Alois Lutz, the hotel manager. Lutz is a short, slighly paunchy Swiss fellow with a genuine, engaging smile. He should have a Old European air about him, rather like David Suchet's version of Hercule Poirot.

Lutz: Greetings mesdames Taylor and Stellina, I am Alois Lutz, manager of Hotel Mandala.

Lutz: Mr. Awatere asked me to personally see to your needs here.

Panel 2
Three-shot of Lutz and the two girls.

Lutz: Have you been informed about the various gravity regimes available here?

Doris: Yes, we have.

Panel 3
Still a 3-shot, different angle. Doris speaks to Lutz.
Doris: Fiorella is from Earth, though she has been in the Belt for almost two years. I think she might want a bit more gravity for sleeping.


Panel 4
Still a 3-shot, different angle, making sure we can see Fiorella's face clearly. Doris turns towards Fiorella for confirmation of what she's saying, and Fiorella grins back at her.
Doris: I have no problem with acceleration, so how about 0.3 gee?
