Strip 516 -- First Seen: 2010-08-30
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
Inside Little Toot, Ernie is floating in the same amid-ship area we saw Bert in 194.3. He has his helmet off. We can see a bit into the flight deck where Bert is partly turned in his acceleration seat. Bert also still has his pressure suit on, without helmet and gloves. The place still has stains on the bulkheads, panels and decks but the trash – including the unconscious pirates – has been picked up and stowed.
 
Ernie: What a mess!
 
Panel 2
Ernie moves into the co-pilot seat next to Bert.
 
Bert: That's what I said when I came aboard. I did pick up the trash.
Ernie: Speaking of which, where are the pirates?
 
Panel 3
Two-shot of the brother. Bert hooks a thumb over his shoulder.
Bert: Got 'em in the pressurized storage bin.
Bert: Oxygen level is set just high enough to keep them alive so long as they don't get too active.
Ernie: Good thinking.
