Strip 564 -- First Seen: 2010-11-04
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
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette the Younger, still at the table. Reggie still has his arms folded, Babbette is recovering from her anguish but still looks worried.
Babbette: I'll pay it back but I don't know how, it was a lot of money.

Panel 2
Medium close-up on Reggie, his arms still folded, but now he has a somewhat bemused smile (he knows how kids can exaggerate.)
Reggie: Babbette, a few grams are easily repaid. How much did you take?

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Babbette, looking upward and to her right (as people do when they're trying to remember something).
Babbette: I'm not sure exactly, but it started when I was about 11.
Babbette: I think I took somewhere between 150 and 160 grams of gold.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette. Reggie looks shocked. Babbette recoils slightly at his outburst.
Reggie: Jesus H. Christ on a crutch!
