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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
The bridge of the Gamma Conqueror. An enraged Harris is starting to issue commands but is interrupted by his Radar Officer.

Harris: Weapons, target …

Radar Officer: Sir, we have a five-meter nickel-iron rock approaching from astern, speed 32 meters-per-second.

Panel 2
Medium Close-up of Harris, speaking with a derisive smirk. If space permits show 2-3 crew in the background with forced laughter.
Harris: Now that, gentlemen, is desperation. Obviously, these poor fools hoped they could sneak a multi-meter metal rock up our butt without us noticing.

Panel 3
Looking past the Helmsman at Harris.

Harris: Helmsman, maneuver out of the path of that pebble.

Helmsman: Aye aye, sir. Already done.
