Strip 896 -- First Seen: 2012-02-22
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
Leon turns away from Terry in their living room, feeling hopeless.
Leon: But how?
Leon: And besides, to launch a shuttle from the ISS, set up an environment we can live in, learn to grow food, produce energy and a million other things would take technologies that doesn't even exist yet.
Panel 2
Focus on Terry, talking passionately.
Terry: Then create them! For a man who has already done the impossible two or three times, those are mighty timid words.
Terry: We have money, lots of money. Let's solve the problems, steal our ride and hit the road to Mars.
Panel 3
Leon sits down on the couch, dumbfounded.
Panel 4
Close-up shot of Leon as his face goes into an intense, open-eyed stare mode, or, his thousand-meter-stare-expression.
Panel 5

Terry (thought): Excellent! I know Leon's problem-soving mode when I see it.
