Strip 698 -- First Seen: 2011-05-09
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
Chang and Ed in Ed's recovery room.
Ed: What about the 'Black Mamba?'
Chang: Oh, her public career is over. She will be drummed out of the military.

Panel 2
An imaginary panel illustrating what Chang is saying. We see Rhonda in a prison jump suit, sitting in a jail cell.
Caption (Chang): 'She might even get prison time, although I doubt she will be there long after the hoopla dies down.'
Caption: 'She still has value to the government. She will get the most dangerous, and I hope, degrading jobs.'

Panel 3
Back to Ed's recovery room, Chang and Ed.
Chang: She will suffer for really screwing the pooch on this operation.
Chang: It will be a long time before any UW attempt to paint Belters as bad guys will have any credibility.

Panel 4
Chang and Ed. Chang is looking thoughtful.
Ed: And what about you?
