Strip 746 -- First Seen: 2011-07-14
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
At the other Pole, we see Ernie and some other scouts among similar gear. Ernie is pointing at one of the units.
Ernie: These devices are also mining claim monuments, which are important to the Crew.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Ernie, and a couple of scouts on either side of him.
Ernie: The ground radar shows that this comet's stony core is very small – no more than 15 meters in diameter.
Scout 1: That means almost everything below the crust is water ice.

Panel 3
Looking over Ernie's shoulder at the group of scouts.
Ernie: That's right! And we all know how valuable water is in human space.
Ernie: We'll be able to afford many more 'campouts' in the future.

Panel 4
Medium close-up on one of the scouts – one of the girls, with others close-by, all smiles.
Scout 2: Not only that, the Water Brothers Crew has lived up to its name!
Scout 3: Yeah!
