Strip 783 -- First Seen: 2011-09-05
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 Guy's apartment. His t-comm (this one is a wrist model) rests on a bedside table, in the foreground. Guy comes leaping out of the background, dripping wet and wrapping a towel around his waist.
SFX: [stream of musical notes emitting from the phone]
Guy (thought): Could be Fiorella!
Panel 2A
First of twin small panels, medium close-up on Guy holding the t-comm to the side of his face, his expression excitedly hopeful.
Guy: Allo?
Panel 2B
Second small panel, Guy's face falls to a grimace of disappointment.
Voice: Cousin Guy!
Voice: It is I, your favorite cousin, Pierre LeBoeuf!
Panel 3
Guy sits dejectedly on the side of his bed, still holding the comm (his fist wraps around the wristband) to the side of his face.
Guy: Uh, hi Pierre.
Guy: I haven't heard from you since I was 13.
Guy: How are you doing?

Panel 4
Guy with his comm, an expression of dread filling his face. This panel has a lot of dialog.
Pierre (filtered): Fine, fine, Cousin, and the good news is I am here to visit with you for a few days, before I continue my flight to Vesta.
Pierre (filtered): We are about to land on Ceres – expect me in two or three hours.
Pierre (filtered): Or whatever that is in your silly time system.
