Strip 508 -- First Seen: 2010-08-18
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 sitting in their seat. Pull camera back enough to show the now-empty hoppers around them. Ernie is spreading his arms wide.
 
Ernie: We have tools and other crap on our belts.
Ernie: I have my torch which I can use to cut up the empty hoppers.
 
Panel 2
Ernie starts cutting up one of the empty hoppers. Bert is in the frame, looking over at him.
 
Ernie: So help me gather up every piece of non-essential mass and put it in the chute, fire it off and hope for the best.

Panel 3
Medium shot of the brothers in their seat. The hoppers around them are gone.
 
Bert: There, that's it.
Ernie: No, there is still the hopper we're sitting in, and our jetpacks.
 
Panel 4
Ernie looks around the side of the Mass Driver at Dactyl, which is looming ever closer (but still a bit off from the Mass Driver's line of motion.)
 
Ernie: Let's save them 'til last, though.
