Strip 949 -- First Seen: 2012-05-07
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
Establishing shot of a meeting hall, big enough to hold 141 audience members with a little room to spare. The audience members are chattering with one another. At the dais in the front is Pilgrim Boner, with his hands raised, trying to get everyone's attention. Over to the right of Pilgrim is a large placard on an easel reading, 'Massachusetts Contingent Meeting.'
Pilgrim: Will the meeting please come to order!
Panel 2
Medium shot of Pilgrim at the dais, addressing the crowd.
Pilgrim: For those of you you've joined recently, I'm Pilgrim Boner.
Pilgrim: I called this introductory meeting to tell you about preparations I've made for you and to provide some basic information about Vesta.
Panel 3
A random shot of some audience members, looking intently towards Pilgrim. (Note -- any time you see a seated person on Vesta, and can see their feet, there is a bar or some sort of toe-hold near the ground where they can hook their feet and more easily keep themselves in their seats. You may not see it in this panel but maybe in later ones.)
Pilgrim: You have already experienced Vesta's very weak gravity, .022 gs, to be exact.
Panel 4
Medium shot of Pilgrim, smiling dryly.
Pilgrim: But you have the same mass as always, so don't get moving to fast and then try to stop on a Continental.
Pilgrim: It won't work any better than a Continental.
SFX: [polite chuckling]
