Strip 657 -- First Seen: 2011-03-15
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 still talking. They are now both standing at 45-degree angles, in relaxed poses. The chill has lessened considerably.
Chang: You may be right, Ed. There are a number of things I just don't understand about Belters.
Chang: For example, you don't seem to have laws – that's anarchy.

Panel 2
Medium c/u on Ed, smiling broadly.
Ed: You say that as though it were a bad thing, Captain Chang.
Ed: We do have anarchy and that's the way we like it.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Ed and Chang. Maybe for variety, make this a distance shot, showing the Belters and soldiers gathered around and listening.
Ed: A stateless society is self-organizing. General guidelines grow out of the market.
Chang: Okay Ed, we need to talk. And just call me Chang, okay?

Panel 4
Close 2-shot of Ed and Chang. Ed is smiling broadly.
Chang: I feel as though you are secretly making fun of me every time you call me 'Captain.'
