Strip 850 -- First Seen: 2011-12-20
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
Tobi talking to Bert on the comm in his office. As he talks, Tobi idly fiddles with one of the tchotchkes on his desk, looking grumpy.
Bert (filtered): And get this, they have two justifications for saying Neanne is not a human being.
Tobi: Let me guess: one has to be that the Neanderthals are not the same species as we are, therefore not 'human.'
Panel 2
Cut back to Bert at his desk, talking at his comm, wearing his 'and can you believe this?' expression.
Tobi (filtered): I'm at a loss for the other excuse, though.
Bert: She's synthetic.
Panel 3
Another shot of Bert, waving an arm emphatically, looking agitated.
Bert: She was cloned from DNA recovered from several different individuals.
Bert: So she's way beyond, Heather has Two Mommies.
Bert: She's got seven.
