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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Angled shot looking past Emily at Pablo.
Pablo: However, there are mitigating circumstances:
Pablo: One, Emily's assumption that Libby was being harmed by Anton, was reasonable.

Panel 2
Closer-in medium shot of Pablo, counting off on his fingers (he's on the third one in this instant).
Pablo: Two, her decision to shoot first and ask questions later was not reasonable.
Pablo: Three, her quick action in helping get Anton into the auto-medic, once she understood her error, is a point in her favor.

Panel 3
Close-up of Pablo, with a very slight smile.
Pablo: Before I give my decision, I have some obiter dicta – fancy legal Latin for an arbiter's opinions … no extra charge.

Panel 4
Looking past the back of Pablo's head at the audience, who are all just sitting quietly. (We might also see Emily to one side and/or Guy to the other, also just sitting quietly)
Pablo (thought): Well, so much for attempted legal humor.
