Strip 512 -- First Seen: 2010-08-24
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
In the foreground left, Bert is still clinging to the rocky out-cropping. In the distance, Ernie and the Mass Driver tumble away.
Bert: I'll get you for this!
Ernie: Well, yeah, Bert, that's sort of the idea.
 
Panel 2
Somewhat closer shot of Ernie on the tumbling mass driver. With his free hand he's pointing roughly in the direction he and the mass driver are traveling.
Ernie: After you subdue the pirates, don't forget to come after me.
Ernie: I'll be a few klicks thataway.
 
Panel 3
Same shot, now Ernie and the Mass Driver are 25 meters farther away.
Ernie: After a few centimes, I'll turn on my emergency beacon and helmet lights.

Panel 4
Same shot, now Ernie and the Mass Driver are 50 meters farther away.
Ernie: I'll be the guy relaxing on an out-of-service Mass Driver.
Ernie: You can't miss me.
