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.

Panel 2
On the Gamma bridge, an unhappy Kruger in the foreground. The Weapons Officer can be seen in the background, looking like he's about to shit his pants.

Kruger: Murder? That was a legitimate ...

Fiorella (filtered): Can it, Captain.

Fiorella (2): Maybe you can't admit it out loud, but we all know it was murder, plain and simple.

Panel 3
Kruger is looking straight ahead now, with his jaw set. The Weapons Officer is resting/hiding his face in his hands.

Kruger (thought): Hell, I agree with her. Butcher Harris has always been a disgrace to the Service.

Panel 4
Now looking at a downward angle on Kruger, who is looking up at the Split-Tail.

Kruger: Alright, Ms. Stellina, let's say we comply with your … request.

Kruger (2): What then?
