Strip 436 -- First Seen: 2010-05-10
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
Cut back to the cafe. Robyn, Emily and Babbette the Younger at the booth, more people gathered around.

Emily: He wanted you for his 'personal assistant'?

Emily: That doesn't sound so bad.

Panel 2
Switch angles, an angled view from the wall that takes in Robyn, Emily and the growing crowd of on-lookers. The onlookers are all suddenly suppressing embarrassed mirth. They don't want to laugh at Emily's naivete but can't help themselves.

Onlookers (variously): Snort! Cough! Mmph! Hic! Eep! Gasp!

Panel 3
Closer-in 3-shot of the girls at the booth. Babbette is resting her face on her palm, elbow on the table. Robyn looks a little bit annoyed. Emily has a 'huh? What?' expression.

Babbette: Oh Emily, you're such an innocent.

Robyn: There's a reason we referred to Tower Control as 'The Mile High Club.'

Panel 4
Medium c/u on Emily. We see a few of the people gathered behind her, most holding hands over their mouths. Emily's eyes widen as she finally gets the picture.
Emily: 'Mile High …'
Emily: Oh!
Emily: Oh, my!
