Strip 648 -- First Seen: 2011-03-02
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
Exterior of the roller-coaster cars now zooming along the track in a broad, sweeping downward spiral.
Caption: Just as Reggie had gotten used to the free-fall, the maglev tracks took the capsule into a long sweeping spiral.
Panel 2
Inside the capsule, which is rotated to about 30 degrees from upside-down. The passengers are all pinned to their seats by the g-forces. Babbette is grinning like a maniac, Reggie is grimacing like his hair is on fire. The people behind them, also pinned in their seats, express mixtures of fear and excitement.
Caption: The g forces pinned everyone to their seats.
Caption: While still in the spiral, the tracks twisted so that the capsule rolled about its axis.
Caption: The effect was totally disorienting.

Panel 3
Close 2-shot of Babbette and Reggie, their capsule still canted at an odd angle. Babbette is laughing and cheering, Reggie looks like he wants to vomit.
Caption: Babbette laughed and cheered in delight. Reggie concentrated very hard on retaining his breakfast.
