Strip 836 -- First Seen: 2011-11-30
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
Three-shot of Frank Martin, Babbette and Reggie in Frank's office.
Reggie: The deal declared the Kuna Indians were Panamanians and entitled to Panamanian passport and other benefits, but that Panamanian law would be without force within 'Kuna Yala' – the Kuna name for San Blas.
Panel 2
Looking past Reggie at Frank.
Reggie: Now, do you have any Belters on or near Mercury?
Frank: Yeah, we always have contract ships intercepting and mining near-Mercury objects.
Frank: Why?

Panel 3
Another flashback. A 1920s-era US battleship, with another battleship a half-mile in the distance. We see Reggie speaking in a cameo inset.
Reggie: The Kunas had a little help from US battleships which blocked Panamanian Warships from going to Kuna Yala.
Reggie: No shooting confrontation, but the message was obvious.
