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 72

Panel 1
In the isolated Corridor Section 12-327.
Fiorella is talking to Bert on her comm as Guy looks on.

Fiorella: Thanks, Bert. Any word about rescue?

Bert (from the small comm holodisplay): Not yet. Things are broken all over.

Panel 2
Guy, Lorna and Fiorella. Fiorella has her arms wrapped around her chest, shivering slightly.

Guy: Does this sort of thing happen often?

Lorna: Shortly after we started here, a small Oort Cloud object hit us, but nothing since.

Fiorella: It’s getting cold.

Panel 3
Same shot, now Guy and Fiorella are reacting in shock to what Fiorella is telling them.

Lorna: It’s going to get colder. It’s minus 300 outside and we have no power for heating.

Lorna (2): We have enough air for two or three days but we’ll freeze to death long before then.
