Strip 597 -- First Seen: 2010-12-21
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
Merry in the far left, standing; in the middle, the back of Kinko's head, Lawrence at lower far right.
Merry: Because you all committed your tort as a team, you are each responsible for the entire debt.
Merry: We only divided the payments into three parts for your convenience.
Lawrence: What a gyp!

Panel 2
Medium c/u of Merry who is completely exasperated, angry, and red-in-the-face.
Merry: That's what you get for engaging in criminal conspiracies! Deal with it!
Merry: I should've let Sv Rosenberg indenture you out at hard labor with a kill-collar around your necks!

Panel 3
Three-shot, side-view, of Merry and the men. Merry is surprised at herself for her outburst, and looks a bit regretful. The men sit there looking shocked.
No dialog.

Panel 4
Looking past Merry at the men. Merry is turned enough towards us that we can see her expression, which is confused, as she looks sideways at the men. The men are suddenly contrite and submissive. Lawrence speaks while Kinko simply lowers his head.
Lawrence: We're sorry, Merry.
