Strip 800 -- First Seen: 2011-10-11
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
In Guy's apartment, in the breakfast nook this time. Pierre is seated at the table, sipping on coffee and reading the news on his personal tablet. Guy is putting on his coat.
Guy: I have some work to do at King's Court.
Guy: The apartment now recognizes you and will unlock the door for you.

Panel 2
Guy straightens his jacket, checks himself out in a mirror in the vestibule while still gabbing at his cousin.
Guy: The kitchen has plenty of food and the AI will answer questions, and cook whatever you want. It will also answer most questions you might have about Ceres and the Belt.
Guy: There are two shopping arcades within walking distance and several good restaurants in the area.

Panel 3
Guy turns and looks back at Pierre still seated at the breakfast nook table, which can be seen down a short hallway from the vestibule with the mirror.
Pierre: Don't worry about me, Cousin, I will be fine.
Pierre: I saw a bar on my way here. I think I will check it out.
Pierre: I think it is a sailor bar. I saw two men entering wearing white bell-bottoms, middies, and sailor caps.

Panel 4
Guy now standing just outside his apartment door, now closed. He is paused, and looking puzzled.
Guy: Sailor bar? Space, or sea?
