Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Halfway there!

The Kickstarter campaign to print the next volume of Quantum Vibe: Novo Palermo - Part 1 is now halfway to our goal. We need your help getting the rest of the way there. Tell your friends, family members, and your pets to back our campaign.

Every little bit helps! The campaign ends midnight (US central time) November 18. So there's still time to get the word out, or maybe add another item to your current pledge.

Your reward for backing our campaign starts with a personalized signed copy of the perfect bound printed collection of the online strip. You may also choose the ebook edition, a PDF downloadable from DriveThruComics.

And back by popular demand, coasters, magnets and stickers. Click on the art on the left, to go to our campaign page where you can back our campaign.

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.

The Transcript For This Page

ESCAPE FROM TERRA
Week 15: Cold Wait

Strip 71
Panel 1
Back in the Carbon Ops control room, Kent is at one of the keyboard terminals, with Bert, Fran, and the other two operators from before – Jay and Weez -- gathered around behind him. The large holo-display (which we can see from behind) has a half-dozen information windows of various sizes displayed.

Fran: Iron Works 2 looks completely dark.

Jay: No contact with Ice Surveyor Team.

Weez: At least Central looks unaffected.

Bert: What about my friends in Corridor 12?

Panel 2
Closer focus on Kent, with Bert (and maybe one or two of the others) over his shoulder

Kent: I’ve notified Central, but they don’t know anything we don’t already.

Bert: Any idea what happened?

Panel 3
Pull back again so we can see all the characters. Kent is still looking at his display, but the rest of them are looking at each other.

Kent: Seismics says something smacked Ghetty hard, near Corridor 12.

Kent (2): It’s a miracle Lorna and your friends are still alive.
