Strip 894 -- First Seen: 2012-02-20
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
Leon has stood up and is talking passionately to his wife who has folded her arms, irritated that he's taking his anger out on her. They are in the living room of their residence.
Leon: Servicing the ISS was only a means to an end. The ISS was a great first stepping stone to the stars.
Leon: In fact, if it had engines, it could have taken us to Mars.

Panel 2
Close-up of Leon, holding his clenched hands close to his face in an animated stance.
Leon: I wish I could just hook it up to the Highball Express and drive the damned thing to Mars. It has room, life support... everything.
Panel 3
Terry walks to the other side of the couch where Leon stands in a slouching pose.
Terry: So buy it, Leon.
Leon: I would, you know, but they already said they wouldn't sell it.
Panel 4
Small panel of Terry thinking, plotting.
Panel 5
Same shot but with her head turned towards viewer.
Terry: Then steal it.
