Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Terry picks up her glass from off the table and hands Leon his. Leon looks hurt, if we can see his face.
Terry: Okay, lecture over. So what's the latest lurch of our zig-zag plan, Stan?
Leon: Ouch!
Panel 2
Above-knee shot of Leon, still hurt.
Leon: Come on, Terry. It's not as though we've changed our plan willy-nilly.
Leon: The government keeps changing the rules and moving the goal post. We have had to change with the changing times.
Panel 3
Small panel. View of Terry, rolling her eyes.
Leon (OP): So anyway, I am almost totally sure...
Panel 4
Leon, a bit nervous at Terry's reaction from the previous panel.
Leon: Uh... assuming nothing else comes up...
Leon: ...a week from Friday a triple Highball Express launch will take you, me, the last of the crew and a boat-load of supplies and and equipment up to the ISS.
Panel 5
Closer shot of Leon. He raises his glass to his lips to take a drink.
Leon: Two of the three-member skeleton crew are in on the plan. The third, Svetlana Ruzayevka, will be given the chance to join us.
Leon: If she doesn't want to go, she will be sent home in the Soyuz, that's currently on station.
Panel 6
Looking down on Terry, who has sat down on the bed, taken Leon's hand, and is looking up at Leon.
Terry: What's to keep her from reporting us if she doesn't want to go?
Panel 7
Leon smiles down at Terry in appreciation. Imply that they're still holding hands.
Leon: Good question. If she doesn't want to go to Mars, we isolate her from all the comm gear and put her under 'house arrest' in the Russian habitat.
Panel 8
Small panel. We see them still holding hands, but we focus on Terry's face. She looks dubious.
Leon (OP): We've thought of everything.
