Strip 416 -- First Seen: 2010-04-12
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, establishing shot: in the Water Bros. Cafe. It's a slow time of day; Babbette the Elder has gone on an errand, Emily Rose is in charge, Babbette the Younger is hanging out as it's a slow time for her business, too. Both of them are at the Cashier station, trying not to be too obvious about the fact that they're watching one of the only three customers in the cafe: a 15-year-old, small and rather scruffy looking girl, with straight, very black hair, light-tan skin and dark, Indian eyes, who we will shortly learn is Robyn. Robyn is seated at one of the tables, not far from the exit door.

Emily (sotto voce, to Babbette): Terry?

BtY: Obviously.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Emily and Babbette:

BtY: Refugee?

Emily: She's got the look.


Panel 3
Medium shot of Robyn, at the table. She's glancing sideways at the Cashier stand as she wolfs down her food.

Emily (OP): Runner?

BtY: Maybe. Looks like she hasn't eaten in days.
