Strip 502 -- First Seen: 2010-08-10
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
Medium shot of the brothers in their seat on the Mass Driver. They're gathering more rocks out of the hoppers.
Bert: Assuming they don't see us and we make a landing we can walk away from, I think it's pretty straight-forward after that.
 
Panel 2
Close 2-shot of Bert and Ernie.
 
Bert: We crawl along the ship's blind side, jack into the comm system and tell the computer to lock them out and lower their oxygen content until they pass out ...
 
Panel 3
Same shot. Ernie has raised an eyebrow in reaction to what Bert is saying.
Bert: … or are asphyxiated. I don't much care which.
Bert: Then we come through the lock and confine the bad guys in the aft storage locker.

Panel 4
Pull back to a medium shot. Bert has the remote control in his hand again, Ernie is bracing himself.
 
Bert: All right, one more firing before we reach turn-over.
