Strip 141 -- First Seen: 2009-03-30
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
Exterior of the Gamma Conqueror, looking up at her from underneath. Her energy cannon is deployed and a thick beam of white energy emits from it towards Ceres (which is out of frame behind our POV to the right).

No dialog.

Panel 2
Inside the Water Brothers Cafe, by the bar. Emily is still talking to Billy on her wrist-comm. Babbette the younger has moved in closer behind Emily to eavesdrop. (At this point we don't really see Billy, just the 6x9-inch screen emanating from the comm.)
Billy (from comm): Relax, Emily, I'll be there in just a few beats.

Panel 3
Exterior view of the Rose seastead, similar angle as when we first saw it. The energy beam is just now hitting the place, enveloping it in a white-hot cylinder.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Looking now at Billy through the holoscreen emanating from Emily's comm. We see just a bit of her head on the left side of the frame, also looking at him. In the screen, we see the background behind Billy looking very white.

Billy: What's that light -?
