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
Still in their opposite corners of the alcove. Doris has picked up her wrap and is starting to put it back on.

Doris: Wow. I don't know what to say.

SFX: soft musical notes

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, waist-up only. Fiorella is blushing as she looks affectionately at Doris.

Fiorella: I do. I kissed a girl and I liked it.

SFX: soft musical notes


Panel 3
Doris now has her wrap on, and Fiorella has found another one and is putting it on.

Doris: So, now what?

Fiorella: I have no idea. I guess we'll just have to see.


Panel 4
The two face one another, and Doris leans forward to give Fiorella a friends-only kiss on the forehead.

Doris: I think we better call a 'truce' until we've both had some time to reflect on this.

Doris: Until then, business as usual. Deal?



Panel 5
The two emerge from the alcove, heading for the exit. All smiles.

Fiorella: Deal. How about we head over to Thrill Land for a little vertigo and possible nausea?

Panel 6
Doris takes Fiorella by the hand as they launch themselves along a tether rope leading across an open area just outside the Big Drop area.

Doris: Works for me!

Panel 7
We see the girls emerge from the Spa through one of the whiffle-holes, still pulling themselves along the tether.
Voice (OP): Hello, ladies.

Panel 8
Looking from behind the girls, who have just turned to confront five men in space navy uniforms, standing on a 'flying carpet' with First Officer William Darling in the center, who grins an evil grin..
Darling: I guess I've caught you with your pants … off.
