Strip 806 -- First Seen: 2011-10-19
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
Back, for a moment, to the present. Suki is talking on her comm to Guy.
Suki: So anyway, Frenchy finally says, 'the obvious' … uh, no offense intended.
Guy (from comm): None taken.
Panel 2
Same shot as panel 4 of the previous strip, only now we're pulled back a bit so we see the big “White Swallow logo above the bottles. Instead of looking at the bottles, Henry is looking at the logo.
Suki: I guess he meant 'a drink' but Henry doesn't think 'alcohol.'
Suki: He thinks 'the obvious' as in 'white swallow.'

Panel 3
Cut to Guy in his office, talking on the comm, his eyes widening in horror.
Suki (from comm): So he lowers his hand to 'short arms inspection' and gives your cousin a little stroke and a squeeze.


Panel 4
Guy is now leaning over his keyboard on one elbow, his hand braced against his forehead, with an exasperated look.
Suki: After that, you probably know the rest.
