Strip 268 -- First Seen: 2009-09-23
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
Medium shot of the student Heinrich. We can see two of the other students flanking him, they are looking at the floor.

Heinrich: No music is permitted in the Station. No personal electronics of any kind are allowed.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Reggie, reacting with disbelief.
Reggie: Why?

Reggie: That doesn't make any sense for someone who was going to sit for a decaday all by his lonesome.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Heinrich, holding up a hand to gesture as he explains.

Heinrich: Do you know the purpose of the Array, Sv Ki-- er, Reggie?


Panel 4
Medium shot of Reggie, arms still crossed, but now wearing a wry grin.

Reggie: Well, it's the SETI Polar Array, so I gather it has to do with Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.

Reggie: Although now I suppose they should call it 'Exo-System Intelligence.'
