Strip 879 -- First Seen: 2012-01-30
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
Bert is in a weightless, shirtsleeve environment. He is holding a hand-rail just outside a hatchway with one hand, to anchor himself while gently pushing the end of a large, crate-like box in the other through the hexagonal hatch, which is about two meters in diameter. The box is just small enough to fit through..
Drenkowski (OP): Okay, a bit less than a meter to go.
Drenkowski (OP): Gently … gently ...

Panel 2
The other end of the crate has Ernie almost mashed up against a bulkhead. The pose should be comical. We can also see Commander Drenkowski, who has been supervising.
Drenkowski: Stop! Right there, that's good.
Drenkowski: Now don't move while I get this tied down.

Panel 3
Drenkowski, Bert and Ernie are now moving (no gravity) away from the hatch, which has been closed.
Drenkowski: Thanks for helping me get the runabout secured in the cargo hold.
Ernie: De nada.
Bert: He means, you're welcome.
Drenkowski: I know what 'de nada' means, Bert.
