Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Looking towards the group from a bit behind the monitor, which is angled towards the right foreground while the group is mostly on the left side of the panel. They are all looking intently at the monitor while Tobi speaks.
Tobi: Here, he shoots his maneuvering unit and slowly picks up speed towards TLP.

Panel 2
Looking at the monitor. We see Johnson, as through a telephoto lens, starting to fall more rapidly. He has his hands and legs extended out “flat” against his fall except his right arm is holding the maneuvering unit out in front of him.

Panel 3
Same shot. Now, we are looking down at the surface of TLP from about 20,000 feet, with Johnson's right arm holding that little Maneuvering Unit out in front of him, blasting it for all it's worth.

Panel 4
Similar to panel 1, but the group are all looking a bit horrified.
Tobi: Those sounds you hear over the noise of his passage through the air …
Tobi: … are his screams.
