Strip 681 -- First Seen: 2011-04-18
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 in front of the hotel. Their conversation is about to end.
Chang: You are right in one way, Ed.
Chang: The 'incident' the UW was hoping for is certainly way less likely.
Ed: So what happens now?
Panel 2
Rhonda Jones kinda-sorta marches (Ceres gravity) into the fame from Ed's right, and she does not look happy. She is wearing a crisp UW duty uniform, with captain's pips.
Ed: Hey Rhonda, I really prefer your red costume.
Panel 3
Three-shot of Chang, Rhonda and Ed. Rhonda is snarling at Ed, who just smiles wryly back at her.
Rhonda: Ha-ha, Ed. And that's Captain Jones to you, outie.
Ed: Wrong again, Rhonda. Maybe those boys have to call you Captain, but not Belters. We are free agents.
Panel 4
Rhonda gets into Ed's face, grinning an evil grin. Ed looks as though a chill is passing through him.
Rhonda: For now. A lot could happen in the next few hours.
