Strip 148 -- First Seen: 2009-04-08
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

In Guy's office. Reggie has laid the package on a table and is starting to open it. Guy is still looking confused.

Reggie: Guy, do you remember the 'weapons of mass destruction' discussion we had the first time you were here?

Guy: Er, yes.

Panel 2
Medium close-up on Reggie, still looking down at the package he is opening. Allow room for his dialog.
Reggie: Cerereans only have personal defense weapons. We don't have WNDs per se, but almost anything is a weapon if you want it to be.

Panel 3
Reggie holds up a cylindrical object that looks like an ordinary thermos bottle.

Reggie: We do have powerful tools at our disposal. This is one of them.

Reggie (2): As far as WNDs go, this pocket nuke is a popgun.


Panel 4
Two-shot of Reggie and Guy. Guy is in near-panic, and almost screaming. Reggie cringes a bit and grabs more solidly onto the pocket nuke, less he accidentally drop it.
Guy: A NUKE! You brought a nuke into Ceres City?
