Strip 684 -- First Seen: 2011-04-21
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
Now it's Rhonda and Ed. Rhonda leans on a railing and calmly to Ed. Ed is still seething but keeping control.
Rhonda: Here's how it's going to go down.
Rhonda: You, or some other Belter, are going to start a fight … initiate aggression, with one of my men.

Panel 2
Focus on Rhonda, spelling out the details.
Rhonda: He will be dressed in civilian clothes. He will not resist.
Rhonda: You will yell insults about the UW, call the soldier names, punch him and kick him while he is down.

Panel 3
Reaction shot of Ed, looking grimly back at Rhonda as she continues.
Rhonda: You will be arrested and taken back to the UW to face charges.
Rhonda: Like you told Chang, the whole world is watching.

Panel 4
Medium distance shot of Ed and Rhonda angled so that we can see one of the security cameras on the plaza. Rhonda gestures towards it.
Rhonda: And don't even think about turning off your video feeds. We have cameras, too.
