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

Strip 67

Panel 1
Bert is alone at the cut-off end of the Corridor, cut off from his companions by the emergency pressure door. His orientation makes clear that he’s been knocked about a bit, as well, but the lights are still on and the pressure is holding (well, mostly).

On one of the panels, an electronic display flashes:
PRESSURE BREACH DANGER
CLEAR SECTION IMMEDIATELY

Bert: Unnnnh.. What th’…

Bert (2): Oh, NO.

Panel 2
Reacting quickly, Bert propells himself quickly back along the Corridor towards the Carbon Operations block. Something in his breast pocket beeps at him.

Bert: Gotta get to the block…

SFX: B-DEEP-A-DEEP! B-DEEP-A-DEEP!

Panel 3
Bert carries his PDA/phone in his pocket. He holds it about 25 cm away from his face and looks at the 7x10cm holodisplay it projects just above itself. On it is the face of Fiorella.

PDA: Bert? Where are you? What’s going on?

Bert: I’m hauling ass back to Carbon Ops. What’s your situation?

PDA: Sealed off, blacked out, and leaky. No injuries.

Panel 4
Bert collides with Kent from Carbon Ops, who is barreling along from the opposite direction (they impact shoulder-to-breastbone rather than head-to-head).

Kent: Look out!

Bert: Sh-OOF!!

PDA: Bert?
