Strip 755 -- First Seen: 2011-07-27
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
Reggie and Babbette still standing on the dock next to the Novo Argo. Reggie is gesturing towards the mid-section gunwale, less than 20 cm from the platform. Babbette is pointing towards the bow of the ship, which is out of panel.
Reggie: Now shall we go aboard?
Babbette: I have some questions first. What's that pointy thing up front?

Panel 2
Angle to focus on the boat's bowsprit in the foreground, while we can see Reggie and Babbette still standing on the dock in the background.
Reggie: If this were a water ship, that would be the bowsprit.
Reggie: Here it's a handle the docking bots use to take hold of the yacht and move it into the berth so its airskin can merge with the berth's.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette, she jabs an index finger in his direction; he looks defensive.
Babbette: Are you checked out on this thing? I remember Mr. Toad's Wild Ride on Mars in that Dymaxion car.
Reggie: I lurched once.
Reggie: Or maybe twice.

Panel 4
Reggie shrugs and grins, lightly fessing up to the truth of the matter. Babbette looks triumphant, but is not smiling.
Reggie: Okay, three times, max.
