Strip 763 -- First Seen: 2011-08-08
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 of Novo Argo and the research vessel. The latter vessel has one of its manipulator arms clamped to the bowsprit of the Novo Argo, holding it so that both boats are side-by-side, aligned at their respective gunwales. Their airskins are intersected, effectively merging them into a larger airskin (nanites are clever that way). A cloud bank is visible behind the two craft, although no Venusian life-forms are in evidence.
Harmon (from the ship): Reggie! Babbette!
Panel 2
Full-length shot of Harmon boarding the Novo Argo via a short gangplank extended from his research vessel, looking around desperately.
Harmon (thought): Damn! I used their real names!
Harmon (thought): Hope nobody noticed.
Panel 3
Closer shot on Harmon, now suddenly turning his head towards the response.
Reggie (OP): Here, Dan.
