Strip 856 -- First Seen: 2011-12-28
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 standing near his desk, sort of leaning on the back of his executive chair, still talking to Bert.
Tobi: Next to last question:
Tobi: How do we know about the plan to kill Neanne?

Panel 2
Flashback panel. Put a cameo of Bert in the corner, speaking. In this frame, we see a pair of white-coated lab techs having a heated discussion. In the background, through an open doorway, we see Nowra, listening with an alarmed look.
Bert: We have a man on the inside. Actually, it's Nowra, Neanne's boyfriend.
Bert: He overheard some of the lab people arguing about it.

Panel 3
Split-panel – on the left, we see Nowra, talking on a hand-held comm. Across the zig-zaggy split, we see an elderly Aboriginal woman, with a middle-aged Aboriginal woman sitting close-by.
Caption (Bert): 'He and his family were allowed to communicate with friends and family back in Australia.
Caption: 'During the calls, Nowra asked his family to send him an unlocked black-market comm in the next 'Care Package' from home.'
