Strip 992 -- First Seen: 2012-07-05
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Back To Normal... Yay!

And we're back! Scott's power and Internet was restored a few days ago, and Scott spent that time since diligently working to get the next strip up. Also, please consider supporting Scott through Patreon or Subscribestar to help keep Quantum Vibe going! You can find links to them on this page, and enjoy today's fresh strip!

Please Stand By

As many of you may have heard, huricane Beryl caused a lot of damage to buildings and infrastructure in the Houston area. It also took out power and Internet service on Galveston Island where Scott lives. As a consequence, uploads of Quantum Vibe will be delayed until power and Internet services are restored. Hopefully it will only effect Monday's strip, but we can't promise anything at this point. In any event, we will resume uploads as soon as possible. Please check back here for further developments.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
A collection of secondary characters from earlier in the story, some of them Mascons, some of them Locals, sitting at a table in a bar and enjoying drinks and conversation together.
Caption: Once Marsha's spell was broken, most of the Mascons were perfectly willing to live under Vesta's cultural norms.
Caption: The Locals didn't hold any grudges. They admitted it was the most fun they'd had in years.

Panel 2
Pilgrim Boner is at a souped-up computer workstation -- think of Tony Stark's home laboratory in the first Iron Man movie. He's standing in front of a curved bank of large holographic screens, interacting with them via hand-gestures and touching the screens. His face a study in concentration.
Caption: Pilgrim went back to his work on the Odeum and Darcy Underground.
Caption: He also made money as a freelance consultant specializing in comoputer system and networking security issues.
Caption: He had to justify that MIT degree somehow.

Panel 3
Marsha and some of the other ex-Council Members, with luggage in tow, are in the Spaceport Lobby. Marsha is speaking with Robert Katzman, the freighter pilot we first saw at the end of Fly, Robyn Fly.
Caption: Marsha and her Council decided they'd be happier elsewhere.
Marsha: Mr. ... ah ... Bobcat? I understand your ship is launching today -- could you drop us off at Mars?
