Strip 750 -- First Seen: 2011-07-20
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
Exterior view, 'Hall of Planetary Science,' a building with a sort of retro-futuristic style, with a grand, welcoming entrance.
Babbette: You know, this is a lot better than I expected.
Panel 2
Inside, Reggie and Babbette are in a largish room with curved walls, along which are various museum-style exhibits (a 5-meter-wide stage housing a holographic display, with a simple control console in front for visitors to use. Each display has a different subject – atmospheric studies, geologic studies, bio-chemistry, etc. Reggie and Babbette are at one of the displays, looking at it intently. We see a few other people milling about.
Reggie: I know what you mean. Now I'm glad we're in Science City.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette at the console.
Babbette: Clearly these are not created for casual tourists, although I'm fascinated.
Reggie: Me, too.

Panel 4
Different angle on Reggie and Babbette.
Babbette: I think they're intended to pique the interest of academic and business visitors, to snag additional research talent and funding.
Reggie: Some things never change.
