Strip 643 -- First Seen: 2011-02-23
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
Captain Chang is still yelling at his troops. Ed (now also unarmed) walks towards him.
Caption: 'We're not out of the woods yet.'

Panel 2
With Ed now about two meters away from Captain Chang, the Captain now whirls on Ed, putting a hand on his own holstered side-arm.
Chang: You! No closer!

Panel 3
Ed speaks calmly to the clearly agitated Chang.
Ed: You planning to shoot me, Captain?
Ed: As you can see, I'm unarmed.
Ed: And, the whole world is watching.

Panel 4
Looking past Chang at Ed, who gestures towards a surveillance camera on a pole nearby. We can also see a few Belters in the background training their video cameras ad Ed and Chang.
Ed: Every surveillance camera in this plaza, plus the cameras pointed at us by the people back there, are recording and posting everything they see on the Tanglenet in real time.
