Strip 809 -- First Seen: 2011-10-24
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
Gabe and Pierre stand facing one another in a workout room, dressed in fencing gear (white long sleeves and trousers, canvas shoes, greyish lame), holding their helmets under one arm and their foils (points towards the ground) in their other.
Gabe: So, Pierre, show me what you know, eh?
Pierre: I know a great deal, but we can start with the basics.
Panel 2
Their helmets now on their heads, Gabe and Pierre face one another in the standard beginning poses, foils at ready.
Gabe: EN GARDE!
Panel 3
Pierre attempts to advance but flies into the air, doing a somersault over Gabe's head.
Pierre: ZUT!

Panel 4
Pierre is sitting on his ass on the mat on the other side of Gabe, looking dazed. Gabe looks down at Pierre with one hand on hip, sword pointed down and away from Pierre.
Gabe: We must master de basics before attempting de advanced maneuvers, eh?
