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
Robyn has stepped back into the airlock, and is speaking to Carla, who is still sitting with her back to the closed inner hatch, in a catatonic daze. Sajjan is standiung next to Robyn, closer to the outer hatchway.
Robyn: Carla, honey, you just stay right here until someone comes to help.
Sajjan: I think this section is safe.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 2
A little down the hallway, Sajjan opens the door to a utility closet.
Sajjan: There are emergency vacuum suits in this utility closet.
Sajjan: They're for administrators, we don't get any.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 3
Sajjan and Robyn donning vacuum suits. Sajjan's is a tight fit; Robyn's is a bit baggy. They don't have helmets on.
Sajjan: Unf! Tight fit.
Robyn: We're lucky to find suits that fit us at all.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 4
Carrying their helmets under their arms, Sajjan and Robyn descend a stairwell.
Caption (Robyn): 'We worried we'd be trapped in an elevator if the power failed. So, we took the emergency stairs towards the klaxon sound.'
SFX: (a little louder now) BA-WOOP!
