Strip 651 -- First Seen: 2011-03-07
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
Panel 1 is divided into 5 narrow panels in a row taking up the upper 2/3 of the strip area.
Panel 1.1 The top pair of lights on the 'Christmas Tree' flash.
Panel 1.2 Close-up of Babbette looking up in gleeful anticipation
Panel 1.3 The middle row of lights on the 'Christmas Tree' flash
Panel 1.4 Close-up of Reggie looking perplexed
Panel 1.5 The 'green' row of lights on the 'Christmas Tree' flash

Panel 2
Wide panel. Angled view of the capsule-train zooming straight up the almost-vertical canyon wall, along a track lined with magnetic linear accelerators. (The accelerators would appear as a series of flat metal plates placed between the tubular roller-coaster tracks.) Through the front capsule dome we can see Babbette's delight and Reggie's terror, as they are pressed back in their seats by the acceleration. This panel can bleed off the right side of the page.
Caption: As the ‘Christmas tree’ flashed green, the capsules leaped forward and up the sheer canyon wall, quickly gaining speed via the magnetic accelerators under the track.
