Strip 851 -- First Seen: 2011-12-21
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
Bert at his desk, talking on his comm, still agitated.
Bert: They say she was just 'synthesized,' like Frankenstein's monster.
Bert: Of course, that's bullshit too, but there's nobody to challenge these specious arguments.

Panel 2
Cut to Tobi in his desk chair, listening with a grim expression.
Bert (filtered): After she's dead and buried at sea, or whatever, they can say, 'Oh, it was a terrible mistake, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.'

Panel 3
Tobi leans back in his chair, looking thoughtful as Bert rants on.
Bert (filtered): Makes me want to puke.
Bert (filtered): 'Course they can also say, 'What Neanderthal? We had no Neanderthal!'

Panel 4
Closer shot on Tobi, now with a more focused expression.
Tobi: So how do we know all this?
