Strip 842 -- First Seen: 2011-12-08
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
In the hearing room, Pablo presents his obiter dicta. We are facing him but can also see the back of Emily's head in the far side of the panel.
Pablo: Emily, did you know that when Anton comes out of the autodoc, he won't be able to walk?
Pablo: The destruction of his spinal column was massive.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Pablo.
Pablo: After he's decanted, it will take at least twenty decadays before his ability to walk is completely restored.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Pablo, wearing a stern expression.
Pablo: Now here's the thing that's bothering me, Emily.
Pablo: This is the third person you've intentionally shot dead.

Panel 4
Medium shot of Emily seated, with Madame DeFarge and the audience in the gallery behind her. Emily is starting to weep, and the audience is looking shocked. Madame Defarge is just quietly knitting.
Audience: {GASP!}
