Strip 794 -- First Seen: 2011-09-20
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
Still standing on the observation deck: James, Reggie and Babbette.
Babbette: 'Below Stairs Tattler?'
James: It's an ezine published in Sunnyvale. Everybody on Mercury reads it. Best source of inside info and scandals of the rich and famous on and off Mercury.

Panel 2
Close-up on James. He's such a gabby fellow.
James: Of course most of the information in it comes from PSPs.
James: Maids, butlers, and cooks excel in being 'invisible' – it's part of their job to blend in with the furniture.
James: Man, they see and hear it all.

Panel 3
The three react to the 'All Aboard' signal.
Amplified voice: All Aboard for Airship H-82! All Aboard!
Reggie: That's us.

Panel 4
James leads the way to the H-82 entry. Reggie and Babbette follow, exchanging glances while smiling.
James: If you'll please follow me I'll take you straight to boarding.
