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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette the Younger are sitting at a table (some room in the King's Court, an 'activities room' of some sort, not the chapel or Reggie's office. This is a flash-back, so Babbette looks younger, about as young as we saw her in her first appearance. But no 'Ceres Spaceport Agent' cap.There is an open textbook on the table in front of them, and she is doing math lessons on an electronic tablet about the size of an Apple iPad, with a stylus. Her expression is one of great sadness. Reggie has a finger on some part of the opened book page but he is noticing her distress.
Caption (Reggie): 'It started when she was 14 Standard Terran years old, and I was tutoring her in math …
Caption: 'She was obviously in deep mental anguish.'

Panel 2
Same shot. Now Reggie is not pointing in the book, but talking to the girl. Babbette hasn't moved at all, still looking at her tablet and not at Reggie.
Reggie: Babbette, before you can concentrate on mathematics, you need to clear your head.
Reggie: You need to address your problem.
Babbette: What problem?

Panel 3
Same shot. Reggie has crossed his arms, and he is staring straight at her with steely eyes. She still hasn't moved but is now looking sideways in his direction.
Reggie: You know what problem, Babbette.
Reggie: I can see it in your eyes and see it in your soul.

Panel 4
Same shot. Reggie hasn't moved, but now Babbette has laid her stylus down and is looking away from him, he face flushed.
No dialog.
