Strip 887 -- First Seen: 2012-02-09
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
All of the events inside the building take place in pitch blackness. The girls can see because of their night-vision visors. We can see the action because the we'll pretend the reader also has night-vision visors. So, all the tones are flat (no highlight or shadow), and the gray-scale range is 20% to 70%. We should be able to see the characters clearly and stuff like doors and corridors should be discernible.
Mac and Nisa make their way up a darkened stairwell. Nisa leads the way. Both of them have their handguns drawn and ready.
Nisa: Living quarters are on the third floor.
Mac: Ugh. Wouldn't you know. Ernie was right about the gravity here.
Panel 2
Mac and Nisa enter a corridor through an opened door. The corridor is dark.
Nisa: I think you're getting soft, dearie ...
Mac: Sh!! I hear something.

Panel 3
The girls encounter Nowra and Neanne. We see the latter two from behind, and in the middle background, facing them, Mac and Nisa with their firearms aimed and ready. The teen-agers are startled, but the girls are well-trained.
Nisa (shouts): HALT!
