Strip 960 -- First Seen: 2012-05-22
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Halfway there!

The Kickstarter campaign to print the next volume of Quantum Vibe: Novo Palermo - Part 1 is now halfway to our goal. We need your help getting the rest of the way there. Tell your friends, family members, and your pets to back our campaign.

Every little bit helps! The campaign ends midnight (US central time) November 18. So there's still time to get the word out, or maybe add another item to your current pledge.

Your reward for backing our campaign starts with a personalized signed copy of the perfect bound printed collection of the online strip. You may also choose the ebook edition, a PDF downloadable from DriveThruComics.

And back by popular demand, coasters, magnets and stickers. Click on the art on the left, to go to our campaign page where you can back our campaign.

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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Lev floats to the side of the communications room as Leon floats in front of the communication screen again.
Leon: Mister Nassif, are we ready for the conference call?
Lev: Aye-aye, Captain, in five, four, three ...
Panel 2
A different shot of the two of them as Lev holds up his hand counting "one" and his other hand pointing at Leon to indicate he's on the air.
Panel 3
Close-up of Leon talking into the screen.
Leon: Greetings ISS treaty members. This is Captain Leon Ball of the Red Ball Express. I am here to answer your questions about our mission to Mars.
Panel 4
The Japanese representative, Defense Force General, Hiro Takahashi shouts furiously from the screen at Leon. Are they communicating from multiple screens or are the representatives all in the same room together in person?
Takahashi: You are captain of nothing! You will pay for your attempt to steal the ISS.
Takahashi: Be warned, if you attempt to leave orbit, you will be destroyed!
