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

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!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Strip 8

Panel 1
Exterior shot of Burner flying through space.

Fionella (from inside ship): It looks so – small.

Panel 2
Inside the ship, Fionella and Guy are gazing out through an observation port at Terra, now a couple of millions miles distant, appearing just large enough that we can see her as a crescent (about 1/8 phase).

Guy: By the time we reach Ceres, Terra will look like a tiny speck, lost in the Sun’s glare.

Guy (2): But hardly small in importance. Terra is the vital center of an expanding human sphere, the guardian of civilization and its values.

Panel 3
The two are now strolling down a corridor, away from the viewport. Guy is in full-bore lecture mode. Fionella listens politely but with an eyebrow raised – her critical thinking is engaged.

Guy: There’s always a danger that people who live on a frontier will forget who they are. They’ll fail to see the ties that bind them to the homeland.

Panel 4

They walk past a ship’s crewman who’s loitering in an alcove. As he speaks to them through a sly grin, they react with shock and a bit of embarassment.

Crewman: Hey, if you guys are into bondage, I know where you can get some fur-lined handcuffs.
