Strip 491 -- First Seen: 2010-07-26
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
The Brothers still standing at the shuttle landing site, Ernie bends over to pick up a small stone, roughly the size of a grapefruit (but not so spherical).
 
Ernie: Dammit, Bert. How can Belters do this to other Belters?
 
Ernie: That is not the way we do things out here.
 
Panel 2
Two-shot of the Brothers, Ernie is brandishing the stone menacingly.
 
Bert: There are bad people everywhere Ernie, even in the Belt. What can we do about that?

Ernie: I know what I'd do, if I had those bastards here right now.
Ernie: I'd bash their brains out with this rock!
 
Panel 3
Medium distance shot of the Brothers – Ernie hurls the stone at a nearby pile or rubble with all his might. The stone knocks the pile away, but Ernie is also flung backward by the force of his throw.

No dialog.
