Strip 791 -- First Seen: 2011-09-15
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
Medium shot of Reggie and Babbette on the observation deck. There are a few people walking around, and nearby, an information kiosk with a computer terminal. It has a sign reading, 'A.I. Station.' Reggie is looking at it.
Babbette: The H-82 isn't ready to cast off yet.
Reggie: This might be a good time to learn about the strike at the hotel.

Panel 2
Reggie at the A.I. Station, Babbette standing by.
Caption: A.I. Stations provided commentary and answered questions about the crater's physical features, communities, statistics and news.
Reggie: Computer, give me information about the social movement at the Hotel Otaared.

Panel 3
Closer shot of Reggie at the A.I. Station, Babbette standing by. Reggie looks annoyed.
A.I.: I'm sorry sir, I have no information about that.
Reggie: That's odd.

Panel 4
Reggie and Babbette both looking over their shoulders as a uniformed ship's steward approaches. He is holding a small device, a bit bigger than a cell-phone, in their direction and glancing at it as he speaks.
Steward: Good day ... Mr. and Mrs. Juárez.
Steward: I'm James, a steward on the H-82.
Steward: How are you enjoying your first trip to Mercury?
