Strip 86 - Click on page above to goto the next page. -- First Seen: 2009-01-12
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
Tall panel. Leave room at top for caption box and dialog.

Still in the café, immediately after the events of the previous Friday episode. Guy is leaning forward, elbows on table and face resting in his hands. Emily Rose is seated next to him at the table, her hand on his shoulder in a comforting gesture. Camera should be looking from an elevated angle but not straight downward.

Caption: Agent Guy Caillard has just lost his assistant and love interest, Fiorella Stellina, who told him she was quitting the UWRS and joining Cererean society.

Emily: I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but it sounds like she did leave a door open for you.

Guy: You don’t understand.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Emily and Guy, from a side-view angle. Guy is idly stirring his coffee with a spoon. Emily is all empathy.


Guy: I can’t just walk away from my responsibility.

Guy (2): The work I do is too important. Billions depend on me …

Panel 3
Swing camera around so that we are looking at them from the front. Emily is speaking and Guy appears to be at a loss for words.

Emily: I don’t really know a thing about your job, Agent Caillard.

Emily (2): But do you know whether any of those billions would give up their hearts’ desire for you?
