Strip 389 -- First Seen: 2010-03-09
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
Looking from behind Doris and Fiorella, towards the Screen. Doris and Fiorella are both turned to look at one another.

Doris: Man, that Star Trek computer voice is annoying.

Doris: Much as I like the old 2Ds, I think something more modern would be better.

Panel 2
Switch angles so we have a two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, seen from the front.

Fiorella: Okay, but don't go with HAL. That would just creep me out.


Panel 3
Same shot, now Fiorella is holding cupped hands and forearms parallel in front of her face in a sort of immitation of the big glass red 'eye' of HAL in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey..

Fiorella: You know, 'Open the hotel suite doors, HAL.

Fiorella: 'I'm sorry Fiorella, I'm afraid I can't do that.'

Panel 4
Two-shot of the girls both laughing.
Doris and Fiorella: Hahahahahahahahahaha
