Strip 654 -- First Seen: 2011-03-10
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
Babbette and Reggie are riding in a futuristic subway car. A few other passengers can be seen.
Caption: In the afternoon, Babbette and Reggie took the underground tube to their chosen rejuv clinic for the preliminary consultation.

Panel 2
Babbette in a pleasantly-appointed office talking to a poised, professional-looking woman who is taking notes on her computer. Reggie isn't in this shot.
Caption: The consultation consisted of detailed questions about health choices and cosmetic questions about their appearance.

Panel 3
Reggie now sitting where Babbette had been, talking to the same professional woman.
Caption : By mutual agreement, neither Reggie nor Babbette revealed their choices to each other. They wanted it to be a surprise.

Panel 4
A pair of lab-coated technicians study a screen showing a CAT scan of Reggie's body, with little circles and arrows and numerical read-outs arrayed on and around the body-image. In the background, through a glass, we can see Reggie laying supine on a scanning bed.
Caption: Scans and tests were taken, and rejuv strategies were developed for each client.
