Strip 132 -- First Seen: 2009-03-17
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
Looking at the screen again. The newscaster is now in the lower right corner of the screen as Admiral Harris appears in an inset screen over the newscaster's shoulder. The inset screen will have the label, 'Recorded earlier.'

At the bottom of the entire screen is the UWN logo again, and the text in the banner reads 'Admiral Arthur Harris, UWSN'

Harris (on screen): We will not allow these murderers to go unpunished. If they have hurt one hair on Agent Caillard's head there will be hell to pay.

Panel 2
Guy reaction shot. Now his incredulity is morphing into disgusted indignation.

Newscaster (off screen): To which we here at the UWN say, 'Godspeed, Admiral Harris.'

Newscaster (2): Stay tuned for further developments.

Panel 3
Guy is frozen in his chair, a moment of indecision. He looks like he wants to jump out of his chair in five directions at once and can't decide which way to go.

Guy: Nnnnnnngh!!!


Panel 4
Guy finally picks a direction, and in a comical repeat of his first step on Ceres, bounces himself up to collide with the ceiling.

Guy: Reggie! I must …

SFX: KLONK

Guy: Merde!
