Strip 433 -- First Seen: 2010-05-05
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. Cut back to Lunar Kiddie Slammer. Robyn is in a dayroom, before one of the wall-sized windows looking out over the lunarscape. The 'upside-down' Earth can be seen just above the horizon. Robyn is performing a Yoga-style headstand.

Caption (Robyn): 'Anyway, with my safety worry out of the way, I actually enjoyed some aspects of the situation.'

Caption (Robyn): 'I ached for my family and for freedom, but I was comforted by the Moon's stark beauty and the Earth sitting on the oddly-near horizon.'

Caption (Robyn): 'And since my mom had taught me Yoga, I could even turn the Earth 'right-side-up' when I performed my headstands.'

Panel 2
Another wide panel. Robyn and a few other prisoners are tending a planted indoor-field on one of the lower Tower levels. She looks contented. One guard is visible, but is not bothering anybody.

Caption (Robyn): 'Even the farm work gave me some comfort.'

Caption (Robyn): 'I'd never been afraid of physical labor and working with living things brought me a … an inner peace I'd never known in Singapore.

Caption (Robyn): 'Unfortunately, that was about to change.'
