Strip 489 -- First Seen: 2010-07-22
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
Tall, narrow panel: Two-shot of the Brothers, standing almost nose to nose.
Ernie: Now, if we could just …
Bert: Get to Dactyl? So how could we do that …
Ernie: Our jetpacks?
Bert: Nope, too slow, not enough fuel …
Ernie: Even if one of us used both packs?
 
Panel 2
Wide, narrow panel. Bert waxes professorial.
Bert: Sorry, 'too slow' means that even if there were enough fuel – which there isn't – the packs have such a measly delta-V, it would take a decaday or more to get there and that's less time than we have in these suits.
Bert: So what are we missing?
 
Panel 3
Tight 2-shot of the Brothers, both staring inwardly, thinking.
No dialog.
 
Panel 4
Same shot, but Ernie suddenly speaks up
 
Ernie: How about you shoot me to Dactyl with the mass driver?
