Strip 961 -- First Seen: 2012-05-23
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
Leon looks tired and irriated as he speaks.
Leon: First, I am not stealing anything. I—or rather Iron Flames—owns the ISS.
Takahashi (OP from screen): Impossible!
Panel 2
Small panel. View of Takahashi looking livid in the screen.
Leon (OP): No General, Iron Flames was hired to... dispose of the ISS, and that is what we are doing.
Panel 3
Leon lecturing to the screen.
Leon: If you will read the agreement your government, and all the treaty members' governments signed, you will see a clause that, for liability reason, gave legal title to Iron Flames.
Panel 4
Takahashi furiously talks back.
Takahashi: Mr. Ball, this is an act of piracy, of terrorism.
Takahashi: We cannot--we will not let you leave orbit. If you try, we will destroy you.
