Strip 826 -- First Seen: 2011-11-16
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

Two-shot of Pablo at his desk and Emily, still seated. Pablo is still looking stern.
Pablo: Emily, did it occur to you to say something like, 'Hey, stop that and get away from her or I'll shoot you'?
Panel 2
Medium shot of Emily, her head lowered.
Emily: I thought he had hurt or killed Libby.
Emily: I – I didn't want to give him the chance to weasel his way out and not get punished for what he had … what I thought he had done.

Panel 3
Another two-shot of Pablo and Emily, showing more of Emily, who is now sitting upright and being defensive.
Pablo: But you were wrong.
Emily: Yes, I fucked up, alright!
Emily: But I had good reason.

Panel 4
Closer shot on Emily, building her courage.
Emily: It really looked and sounded like he had attacked her or something ...
Emily: … I mean it was an accident, right?
Emily: I'm sorry I killed him, okay?
