Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Narrow panel. Doris and Fiorella, their ruck-sacks in hand, emerge through frosted-glass doors from a short passageway.

Caption: Their Fokker secured, Doris and Fiorella enter the Mandala Hotel lobby.

Panel 2
Panel fills remainder of this strip's half-page: Establishing shot the lobby of the Hotel Mandala.

It should be a scene of jaw-dropping ostentatious splendor, highly-decorated walls and ceilings, Ming vases, overstuffed furniture, go nuts. Inhabiting the scene should be a smattering of people in varying genders and colors and clothing, milling about or lounging. Mix in a couple or three people wearing clothing that suggests 'hotel staff,' doing the sorts of things top-shelf hotel staff do.

There is a noticeable curvature in the floor (and ceiling where we see it), similar to the scene inside the Big Wheel Space Station in 2001 where Heywood Floyd chats with some Russian friends, only a bit more so. The acceleration effect here is a tiny bit more than Ceres gravity, at 0.05 gee. Which means people 'walk' by gliding around on tippy-toe, like on Ceres. However, since most guests are from heavier-gravity worlds, hand-rails are placed strategically to help 'heavy-leggers' get around.

The girls stand in the middle of it all, looking about in wonderment.
