Strip 466 -- First Seen: 2010-06-21
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
Jacob's vehicle flying low and fast over the lunar terrain.

Caption: 'Meeting Jacob was the best stroke of luck Sajjan and I had had in years.'

Panel 2
In a largish room something like a small, simple church. We see Robyn, Sajjan, seen from behind, are addressing the Mennonite congregation, sitting in the pews. Jacob stands up front as well, off to one side. The congregation is clearly moved by the story – some of the women are wiping away tears.

Caption: 'The Mennonite congregation was convinced and obviously moved by our story.

Caption: 'Turned out the colony was a 'station' in a Lunar 'Underground Railroad.'

Panel 3
Back in the 'present,' in the Water Bros cafe. We're looking towards the wall at the girls in the booth. We can see a few heads of onlookers in the lower foreground.
Robyn: It operated like its American namesake in the early 19th Century, helping slaves escape to freedom.
Robyn: Except that on Luna, escapees were running from tyranny of one sort or another.
