Strip 638 -- First Seen: 2011-02-16
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
In front of the Chez Treif, Ed walks up to Bert which is standing out front. Also in the frame we can see three or four other people wielding portable video cameras.
Ed: That was quick. How about the mall surveillance cameras?

Panel 2
Medium shot of Bert, smiling. We should see another Belter with a video camera showing up in the background.
Bert: Turns out the mall administrators already had the same idea.
Bert: All cameras are rolling and forwarding their feeds to off-site recorders.

Panel 3
Show Guy in his office at Reggie's 'King's Court.' His wall-screen is split into a dozen different frames, each showing a different view of the plaza, most of them focused on the Hôtel de Crillon. Guy stands with his hands on hips, gazing at the display with Gallic intensity.
Caption (Bert): 'They are also forwarding the feeds to Guy at Reggie's comm center at the church.
Caption: 'He is totally into it. I think he's trying to atone for his former life as a UW Revenue Agent.'
