Strip 122 -- First Seen: 2009-03-03
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
Guy and Reggie are exiting Reggie's office, with its 'Make A Joyful Noise' etc sign. Both are still carrying their half-empty drink tumblers. Guy is eying his drink with newfound appreciation. (Make this a tall, narrow panel).

Guy: I must say, I do feel a bit better.

Reggie: Great! Like I said, I need your opinion, if you'll follow me ...

Panel 2
Wide panel. Make this one a bit taller than the panel to come underneath. They're in another office, a bit smaller than Reggie's but not by much. Along one wall are rows of 5-drawer filing cabinets. Along the next, a 3-foot high credenza, a low bookcase and a mini-fridge fill the lower area, while the upper 7 feet by the entire width of the wall is one giant image of southern French countryside. The third wall has six-foot wide work table next to a desk area with a standard desktop computer. The fourth wall, where the door is, has nothing on it at all except the light switch. The room is otherwise unadorned. In the first panel we only see the walls with the filing cabinets and the giant image.
Guy: Nice wall-screen.

Reggie: There are 750 nature scenes in memory and of course you can make it show anything you like. Including blank wall.

Panel 3
Wide two-shot of Guy and Reggie. Guy is startled by Reggie's next question.

Reggie: So, you think this will be suitable for my new Chancellor of the Exchequer?
