Strip 656 -- First Seen: 2011-03-14
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
Ed and Chang continue their discussion. Now Ed is standing at almos a 45-degree angle to Chang, trying to strike a less confrontational pose. We can also see some of the Belters and soldiers standing around listening in.
Ed: Okay, Christmas starts on Terra in a few hours.
Ed: How about we put aside any animosity, at least until Christmas has passed.

Panel 2
Looking past Ed at Chang, who has a hand on his chin in a thoughtful gesture as Ed continues speaking.
Ed: Let your troops have some R&R, meet locals, have some fun.
Ed: For our part, why don't you and I sit down and talk.

Panel 3
Close 2-shot of Ed and Chang.
Ed: I will answer any questions you have about Belter culture.
Ed: Of course, that would be good to know, should your plans succeed.
Panel 4
Focus on Ed, trying to look as friendly and disarming as he can.
Ed: My mission, Captain Chang, will be to give you enough information to understand why a military action against us would be suicide.
