Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Panel 1
Robyn and Sajjan stand next to another closed airlock door. There's a light flashing on a small panel next to it.

Sajjan: Only 10% atmosphere on the other side of this hatch.

Robyn: Let's get our helmets on and cycle this airlock.

SFX: (a bit louder) BA-WOOP!

Panel 2

Robyn: I think this is where that klaxon is.
Sajja : That's the guards' lounge..
SFX: (fairly loud now) BA-WOOP!

Panel 3
Standing inside the somewhat larger airlock. A row of lockers can be seen blocking the inner hatch. The hatch is partly closed on the lockers.Air is rushing through but not as strongly as we saw in Norman's apartment airlock.

Panel 5
Robyn stands by the hatch, holding it flat against the wall, while Sajjan muscles the lockers over the hatchway lip and into the lounge area.

SFX: (fairly loud) BA-WOOP!
Panel 6
Robyn standing by the hatch, still holding it open, peering through the open hatchway (at this angle we can't really see much through the hatch.
