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 69

Panel 1
Largish panel. Guy, Fiorella and Lorna hustle about the Corridor Section, placing patches over the leaks revealed by the popping stain-bubbles.

Fiorella: How do these patches work?

Lorna: They’re designed to extrude their material into a crack, drawn by the vacuum outside. When the material gets cold enough it congeals into plug that seals the leak.

SFX: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Panel 2
Smallish panel. In the foreground left, Guy is looking at the underside of one of the patches he’s carrying, inspecting it quizzically. In the background, Lorna barks at him.


Guy: You know, this material looks familiar somehow.

Lorna: Less quizzing and more patching, please!

SFX (a bit smaller than last panel): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Panel 3
Show all three characters floating in the corridor section. They are all out of patches. There are two unpatched leaks, as indicated by non-patched stains on two different bulkhead seams.

Fiorella: Um, we’re out of patches.

Lorna: Unfortunately, we’re not out of leaks

SFX (smaller still, one of these coming from each of the two remaining leaks): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
