Strip 769 -- First Seen: 2011-08-16
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
Inside the hab – we see Jim coming through the smaller of the hab's 2 airlocks (1 at each end). Three scouts are nearby, one of them is Libby.
Libby: Where'd you go, Jim? You missed the fun.
Jim: Uh ...

Panel 2
Two-shot of Jim and Libby. Jim has taken his helmet off and is holding it in front of him. He's looking sheepish. Libby looks a bit doubtful.
Jim: I-I was checking my backpack … er, to be sure if I had put my Swiss Army knife in it.
Libby: Okay ...

Panel 3
Libby hooks a thumb over her shoulder..
Libby: You got back just in time for lunch.
Libby: I think you'll like what we cooked. And it will be your last meal on – ta-da – 'Blackwater.'

Panel 4
Jim glides happily off in the direction Libby indicated. Libby watches him go, looking dubious.
Jim: Oh boy, I'm starved!
