Strip 522 -- First Seen: 2010-09-07
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
Bert, very serious expression, answers Callahan. Try to get them both on the shot, but it's important we see Bert's expression.

Bert: I've never killed anyone.
Bert: If possible, I never will.

Panel 2
Bert (let's show him from the side) and some of the others at the booth listening to him.

Bert: Yeah these guys are 'pirates,' but sort of pathetic ones.
Bert: They don't even have the smarts or self-discipline to make an honest living in the Belt.

Panel 3
Just for variety, lets have a shot a few yards away from the booth, which we still see in the background. In the foreground, Mary Callahan is serving drinks at a table.

Bert: They are just pathetic losers.
Bert: Life is tough out here, but anyone can succeed here if they apply themselves.
