Strip 109 -- First Seen: 2009-02-12
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
A burner ship arcs across space, out towards the Belt.

Guy (from inside ship, thought bubbles): What an ironic turn of events.

Panel 2
Guy is inside his tiny cabin room on board the burner ship. He’s sitting on the side of his bunk, looking at a large flat viewscreen on the wall showing the receding Terra, musing darkly.

Guy (thoughts): That I, Guy Caillard, once the best-producing Special Agent in the United World Revenue Service, must flee into this exile. To live amongst the same barbarians who were my undoing.


Panel 3
Looking over Guy’s shoulders at a fancy-looking document he’s holding above his lap. It’s the Treaty of Mutual Indifference.

Guy (thoughts): I’m to deliver this treaty, signed by Secretary General Tanduk Timah himself.

Guy (thoughts 2): Heh.

Guy (thoughts 3): ‘Tanduk Timah’ in Bahasa Malay means ‘Tin Horn.’ How apt.
