Strip 149 -- First Seen: 2009-04-09
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
In Guy's office. Reggie lays a calming hand on the distraught Guy's shoulder, while still holding the nuke in his other.

Reggie: Ceres City houses lots of industrial nukes, Guy.

Reggie (2): At any rate, this is a popgun.

Panel 2
Medium close-up on Reggie, looking grimly at the nuke in his hand.
Reggie: Yields a tenth of a kiloton, the same as a measly 100 tons of TNT.

Reggie (2): Great for cracking planetoids, but a piss-poor weapon.


Panel 3
Looking over Reggie's shoulder at Guy, who has the look of dawning realization;

Reggie: Unless, of course, you deliver it right into the landing bay of the ship you want to destroy.

Panel 4
Medium close-up of Guy, who is looking quizzical again.
Guy: But how are we going to shoot that into their cargo bay?
Guy (2): I am certain they have all sorts of anti-missile defenses.
