Strip 710 -- First Seen: 2011-05-25
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
In Reggie and Babbette's cabin – which is a plenty spacious, 4-star room, single except for the bathroom. The bed is a king size. They are standing next to it.
Babbette: See? Quite big enough.
Intercom: Attention passengers! While Variable Star's ascent should be almost imperceptible, occasionally Mars surprises us and serves up freak wind shears and turbulence.

Panel 2
As the announcement concludes, Babbette smiles coquettishly at Reggie.
Intercom: For your own safety, please refrain from standing during the first 20 minutes after lift-off.
Babbette: Whatever shall we do to pass the time?

Panel 3
This is going to be sort of a complicated pose. Reggie has embraced Babbette and is pulling her down onto the bed. Just as they're almost down, Babbette's T-comm, which is laying on the nightstand near Babbette, sounds a tone, which is getting her attention.
SFX: [musical notes]
Babbette: Damn! That's Ernie's ring.

Panel 4
A somewhat frustrated-looking Babbette is sitting on the side of the bed, talking on her comm. Behind her, Reggie is taking off his jacket in anticipation of hijinks.
Babbette: This better be important, young man.
Babbette: If you're asking where the good scissors are, things will not go well for you.
