Strip 893 -- First Seen: 2012-02-17
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
Full-length 2-shot of Nowra and Jensen in stand-off in a corridor. Jensen grins evilly as he points his gun at the lad.
Jensen: You and Cave Girl aren't going anywhere.
Jensen: I turned on the lights and tripped the alarms.
Jensen: Well find her soon enough.
Panel 2
Medium shot of Nowra, looking angry, fists balled up, charged on adrenaline.
Jensen (OP): Gee, I hope she doesn't get shot while attacking a guard.
Panel 3
Nowra, trembling with rage, takes a step towards Jensen, who raises his gun to shoulder height and sights directly at Nowra's chest.
Jensen: Back off, Abo, or I'll shoot! Hands in the air!
Panel 4
Very small panel – close-up on Nowra, his eyes looking a bit off to the left and eyes widening as he sees something.
No dialog.

Somewhat larger panel, looking from Nowra's POV, we see Jensen pointing his gun but the focus is behind Jensen, on the floor, where we see Gerald the lyrebird strutting along.
No dialog
Panel 6
Looking past Jensen at Nowra, who now adopts a casual stance.
Nowra: Jensen, you're not very bright, are you?
Nowra: Aren't you supposed to watch your back?

Small panel, tight close-up on Jensen, who's eyes are glancing to his side.
No dialog

Panel 8
Same shot, now Jensen is looking forward again, and sneering.
