Strip 541 -- First Seen: 2010-10-04
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
Scene – the pedestrian causeway leading from the Spaceport. Wally loiters in a recess. He's obviously waiting for something.
Wally (thought): If my theory is correct, the next attack will occur soon, and close to here.

Panel 2
A pair of teenagers, male and female, stumble by carrying large bags. They're obviously Terrans (Let's make them Indians (from India, not the Americas)) just off the boat. Wally eyes them intently. .
Wally (thought): Hmmm. Usually the victims have been alone, but I have a hunch ...

Panel 3
The teenagers are about 20 meters past Wally, when suddenly the Mugger leaps out from another recess just behind the pair and knock their heads together, hard. The Mugger is tall, muscular, caucasian, thuggish-looking.
SFX: Chonk!

Panel 4
The Mugger is going through his victims' pockets, as Wally steps out into the causeway, looking angry.
Wally (thought): Son of a bitch.
