Strip 152 -- First Seen: 2009-04-14
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
Wide panel. A lone, lonely figure clad in an enviro-suit – Reggie – strides away from the external airlock. He's about 100 meters out at this point.

Caption: 30 minutes before the end of Harris' grace period.

Caption 2: During the 24 hours before the surrender of the 'Cererean Government' was to take place, Reggie wasn't the only one taking personal responsibility.

Panel 2
Another wide panel. This is a montage of six individuals, shown mostly from the chest-up, in various types of clothing, looking grimly determined. Most of them in darkened backgrounds illuminated by LCD monitors and holoscreens. These are the control rooms of various rock-wrangler ships although we can't tell that at this point. One of the individuals is Captain Doris. I can't locate a description of her – Sandy, if you have some ideas for what Doris looks like, now's the time to let us know. Doris has a medium build, nice body, but more athletic and “hard” than Fiorella. Her hair is a wavy to curly light brown, off the shoulders, but not much. She could be of northern European extraction.

Caption: In Reggie's state of mind, he'd forgotten his own observation, that nobody tells Cerereans what to do.

Caption 3: Nobody has to, they just decide for themselves.

Caption 2: Other Cerereans were making their own decisions.
