Strip 928 -- First Seen: 2012-04-06
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 (Position this panel on the top left corner of the page, and the next three panels to the right of Panel 1.)
Terry and Leon still talking in the kitchen. Leon has leaned over onto the island and has his coffee cup close to his lips. Terry has her head cocked in a sympathetic stance with her coffee cup up to her face. (Feel free to overlap the dialogue over the next three panels.)
Leon: That's when we moved everything to the middle of the Pacific. It was a costly and inconvenient move, but at least we got back on track, losing only a year and a few million dollars.
Panel 2
Leon and Terry boarding the Highball Express.
Leon (narrating): Anyway, when Cassandra's words came back to haunt me...
Panel 3
The Highball Express Taking off.
Leon (narrating): ...He actually sent me an 'I told you so' email...
Panel 4
The Highball Express approaching the ISS.
Leon (narrating): ...That's when I started investigating Panama and set up some low- profile operations there.
Panel 5
Henrique opens the hatch of the Highball Express. We see Leon, Terry, Lev, Ayalah and Cisco peeking out from the Express hatch. Henrique is floating and so are the rest.
Caption: The big day...
Henrique: Welcome aboard the ISS, Senhor, Ball!
Panel 6
Largest panel on page, establishing part of the interior of the ISS and showing the crew floating into the station in Zero G. Terry and Cisco look queasy and Leon is looking at them, noticing that they aren't puking from it.
Leon (Thought): Looks like Terry and Cisco are the only ones suffering from motion sickness, and they're not even puking! That's good...
