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!

ESCAPE FROM TERRA
Week 15: Cold Wait

Strip 71
Panel 1
Back in the Carbon Ops control room, Kent is at one of the keyboard terminals, with Bert, Fran, and the other two operators from before – Jay and Weez -- gathered around behind him. The large holo-display (which we can see from behind) has a half-dozen information windows of various sizes displayed.

Fran: Iron Works 2 looks completely dark.

Jay: No contact with Ice Surveyor Team.

Weez: At least Central looks unaffected.

Bert: What about my friends in Corridor 12?

Panel 2
Closer focus on Kent, with Bert (and maybe one or two of the others) over his shoulder

Kent: I’ve notified Central, but they don’t know anything we don’t already.

Bert: Any idea what happened?

Panel 3
Pull back again so we can see all the characters. Kent is still looking at his display, but the rest of them are looking at each other.

Kent: Seismics says something smacked Ghetty hard, near Corridor 12.

Kent (2): It’s a miracle Lorna and your friends are still alive.
