Strip 801 -- First Seen: 2011-10-12
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
Guy at his desk in his King's Court office, hard at work with columns of numbers. He has a holoscreen going on his desktop and also a digital tablet laying to the right of his keyboard where he is pointing a finger to mark a place. His wrist-t-comm (left wrist) sounds an incoming call alert.
SFX: [musical notes coming from the t-comm]
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Guy holding the t-comm near his left ear. He is flinching from the shouting coming from the comm.
Pierre (filtered): HE TOUCHED ME! THAT DAMED POUTAIN TOUCHED ME!

Panel 3
Guy leaning back in his office chair, looking a bit rumpled. He is holding his hand out palm down in a calming gesture.
Guy: Okay okay, Cousin. Calm down and let's start at the beginning.
Guy: Where are you?
Pierre (filtered): I am outside that damned bar, The White Swallow!

Panel 4
Medium close-up of Guy with the t-comm, now chuckling a bit.
Pierre: Do you know what this bar is?
Guy: I hope you didn't drop your comm and bend over to pick it up.
