Strip 666 -- First Seen: 2011-03-28
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 is standing next to a rejuv chamber, wearing a knee-length robe. A female technician is with her. The rejuv chamber is shaped like a giant lozenge, opened for egress on the top. Inside the lozenge we can see a viscous, cloudy liquid. There's a control console attached to the foot of the chamber.
Caption: Rejuv:
Caption: The rejuv chamber contained a synthetic form of vernix caseosa, containing millions of nanobots.

Panel 2
Babbette, now disrobed, is sitting upright in the chamber. Angle this from ¾ behind. The technician is securing a band with electronic doo-dads on it to her head above the brow-line.
Caption: Patients are provided a device which monitors their vital signs while also inducing a dreamless sleep.

Panel 3
We are now looking down on Babbette in her chamber. A flat, transparent canopy now covers the opening. The cloudy fluid obscures most of Babbette – we can barely make out a recognizable face, and the rest of her is mostly just a blurry outline. We can however, see several bubbles on the surface near her face.
Caption: The pre-immersion cut-off spares them the drowning sensation as the rejuv fluid fills their lungs.
