Strip 918 -- First Seen: 2012-03-23
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
Looking past Drenkowski at Collin and Jackie running back into the hangar through the same side door they came through. We can see Collin's weapon still laying on the ground. Drenkowski is shouting after them.
Drenkowski: After we take off, retrieve your weapon, so you'll have it when your bosses get here..
Drenkowski: Tell them three of us pinned you down under heavy fire.
Panel 2
Drenkowski is spraying the wall of the hangar with bursts from his rifle.
SFX: B-D-D-DOW! B-D-D-DOW! B-D-D-DOW!
Panel 3
Drenkowski is now turning away from the Hangar, looking back along the runway. He's touching something on the side of his visor.
Drenkowski: Oh, shit.
Panel 4
We see what Drenkowski sees: in a magnified view down the runway, a large firetruck is pulling onto the runway, heading directly towards our heroes.
SFX: VWOOOP! VWOOOP! VWOOOP!
Panel 5
In the cockpit, Drenkowski is dropping down directly into his pilot's seat. The others are getting into their seats (it's a bit crowded in the back but everyone fits). Drenkowski is shouting and the others look a bit alarmed by his sudden action.
Drenkowski: Strap in!
Panel 6
Wide panel – in the foreground left, Free Bird is starting its takeoff roll. In the background right, the firetruck is racing towards them.
Drenkowski: This is going to be real damn close.
