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

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette are romping in their cabin bed, but interrupted by a siren.
Siren: CH-DREEEP! CH-DREEP! CH-DREEP!
Babbette: What the fu –?

Panel 2
Reggie and Babbette now sitting in the bed, sheets/covers/pillows scattered about but covering up their naughty bits. They are listening to the loudspeaker announcement.
Loudspeaker: ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS!
Loudspeaker: A Radiation Emergency is declared! Repeat, Radiation Emergency!

Panel 3
Reggie and Babbette, now clad in bathrobes and slippers, hustle out their cabin door into a hallway where we can also see close to a dozen other people, in various states of dress, hustling out their own cabin doors and striding in the same direction.
Loudspeaker: Everyone must proceed immediately to their assigned shelters!

Panel 4
A radiation shelter – an austere, steel-walled room with a sink and several bunk-beds lining the walls. Most of these have two people sitting in them. Babbette and Reggie sit together in one. Everyone looks either bored or a little nervous.
Babbette: Was there a coronal mass ejection, or is this just a safety drill?
Reggie: The sun can be a real bitch sometimes, when you get close.
