Strip 549 -- First Seen: 2010-10-14
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
Looking past Pablo at Bert and Ernie, seated across his desk and over to his left.
Pablo: Okay, gentlemen, you have already admitted forcibly depriving these men of their liberty. I don't take such things lightly. You better have a pretty good story.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie, Bert is standing.
Bert: We do, Sv. Rosenberg.
Bert: Nearly three decadays ago, my brother Ernie and I were at 243 Ida, excavating a small mascon which had been discovered by Reggie King.
Merry (OP): Objection.

Panel 3
Merry is now seated next to her three defendants. She is addressing Pablo,
Merry: There has been no evidence offered that Reggie King discovered the mascon. My clients could have easily discovered it, and merely taken action to defend their rightful claim.

Panel 4
Pablo leaning on one elbow on his desk.
Pablo: Could have? Overruled. Let Sv. Guzmán continue his testimony.
