Escape From Terra - by Sandy Sandfort, Scott Bieser and Lee Oaks! - Big Head Press, publishing Thoughtful Stories since 2002

Strip 652 -- First Seen: 2011-03-08
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
The capsule-train continues zooming up the near-vertical track.
Caption: The acceleration went on for several seconds and then dropped off. Inertia continued the capsule's climb.

Panel 2
View from just above and behind the lead capsule. We can see the top of the canyon wall, and the track running up and over it, less than 10 meters away.
Caption: Reggie sighed in relief as the lip of the canyon approached.

Panel 3
Side-view of the lead capsule creeping up over the canyon lip, its nose dropping down to almost a horizontal position.
Caption: Soon the ordeal would be over.

Panel 4
The capsule-train begins falling backwards down the track, rapidly picking up speed. We can see Babbette and Reggie through the front dome – Reggie has a classic 'oh, crap' expression.
Caption: Or, maybe not.
