Strip 501 -- First Seen: 2010-08-09
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

Re-establishing shot of the Mass Driver, with the Brothers in their seat, hurtling away from Ida. They're throwing mid-sized rocks into the conveyor. The hoppers are still slighly more than half-full at this point.
 
Ernie: So what's our plan for when we get to Dactyl?
Bert: Well, I don't think they will see us coming.
 
Panel 2
Closer two-shot of the brothers. Bert is looking at the chronometer on his left wrist.
 
Bert: By the time we're that close, it'll be 'night,' VMT, so they'll probably be asleep.
Ernie: Assuming they're on Valles Marineris Time.
 
Panel 3
Bert is holding up his remote control.

Bert: Yeah. Time for another firing, brace yourself.

Panel 4
Rear shot of the Mass Driver, leaping away as it shoots several mid-sized rocks out the back side.

SFX: WHOOOM!
