Strip 106 -- First Seen: 2009-02-09
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
We are back in the UWRS High Commissioner's office. This time Guy is absent, instead, his Chief stands on the other side of the desk. (This time we will have varying angles rather than one shot used repeatedly.)

High Commissioner: 80 Billion Continentals. This 'King Reginald' character must think we're idiots.

Chief: Our legal department confirms that his reading of our laws and treaties is correct.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of the High Commissioner, banging his fist on his desk with barely-contained anger
HC: Then we need a new legal department! Laws exist to help us implement policy, not to impede us!

Panel 3
Looking over the HC's shoulder at the Chief, who is looking uncomfortable.

HC: This is on the QT, understand? Our internal financial projections indicate we face a world-wide meltdown if we don't get an infusion of Three Trillion Continentals into our system.

Panel 4
Two-shot of HC and Chief, whatever angle you like so that we can see both of their faces.

Chief: Why don't we go after the tax havens here on Earth?

HC: If we did we'd be stepping on the toes of very powerful people. Smarten up.
